Hey Sis! 🎙️

Today’s episode is the beginning of a very personal story—the testimony behind the For the Soul prayer journal. We’ll reflect on what it means when God’s most loving answer to our prayers is “wait,” and how His timing is always tied to His heart for us. Looking back over the last five years, I share how the Lord built character, consistency, and trust in my life before bringing this journal to reality.

As we walk through 1 Thessalonians 5:16 –18 together—“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances”—you’ll see how habits like writing out prayers, starting with gratitude, and leaning into community shaped my journey. If you’ve ever felt stuck in a waiting season, this episode will remind you that God is always moving in the background, preparing the right time for His plans to unfold.

🎧 Listen in, and don’t forget to grab the journal prompt to help you stay rooted in faith this week.
