Welcome back to this episode of Wholly Made Life™. This is episode 50. I cannot believe that I have made it to number 50 and I would not have made it without the constant feedback that I'm getting from you. Ladies listening your beautiful reviews that you've left your engagement in the Facebook group, your texts and your emails, your private messages on Facebook or Instagram. I have just been so grateful that I have been able to share with you guys and that you guys have reached out to, you know, commune with me and live life. And I just love each and every one of you guys that have participated in helping me, supporting me and supporting our community to help each other, grow into the women that God is calling us to be. So I just want to thank you today.

Today. I have a gift for you because I am praying for each one of you. And I think that sometimes we think that prayer has to be some formal regimented or powerful words, big words. And you know, really prayer is just the way that we build relationship with God. It's much like, you know, God wants to be in our lives and wants to work powerfully in our lives. And he just wants relationship with us. He wants to commune with us just like we want to commune with each other. And when you think about a friendship, it's hard to develop that friendship more deeply. If you're not having a phone call here or there, or grabbing a cup of tea or coffee together, or going out to eat or emailing or checking up on Facebook or whatever that relationship is with that friendship, it's kind of hard to develop that any further, if you're not engaging with each other.

And prayer is simply the way that we can commune and have relationship with God and because of our community and you guys I know how important prayer is and I know how powerful prayer can be. And you know, I think that you really know how much you love someone else based on how much time you're spending in prayer for them and about them. And a lot of times, you know, we don't always focus our prayers on external or out outward focus. So sometimes we're praying for ourselves praying for our own needs, our own family's needs, but you know, our prayer is powerful and God hears it. Whether we say it out loud or not, he knows everything about us. He knows our feelings. He knows our emotions. He knows our needs. He knows our wants, but he wants us to have that conversation with him.

And the more that I think that we can focus our prayer on others and outward focus, I think that that also blesses us. So I just want to challenge each and every one of us to love each other enough, to keep each other in prayer and spend that time to lift each other up in prayer so that we're all you know, covered and protected. And we're all standing in agreement together. When we stand in agreement, God's always right there in the midst of it. So I think it's important for us to just remember that as we pray to include time, that you spend praying for other people, praying for your church, praying for your schools, that you're a part of praying for your communities, your government leadership, the church leadership, your pastors, and their families. And all of those that are connected.

All of those that are in your cities, in your the grocery stores, you know, there's just so much power in prayer. And I think important to take time, to really be intentional about who you're praying for, how you're praying and making sure that we're including all of the little things and the big things, because I believe that power is prayer or prayer is powerful and power is prayer. So I guess both ways, but I wanted to kind of discuss a little bit because I think sometimes people just get nervous about prayer. I know that I used to, and I know even now in groups that I'm in, sometimes when people are hall on the prey, it's like, oh my gosh, like I had to pray out loud in front of this group. And it's kind of, I don't know if we've gotten conditioned to think that we have to sound a certain way or say a certain thing, or we have to be very biblically knowledge base.

You know, I'm the first one to admit that I have a difficult time memorizing scripture. I can talk about the gist of different things, but if I need to quote scripture, a lot of times I got to go look it up. And I have, you know, there are people that are kind of Bible scholars where I can think of one right now where I can say, okay, it was a, it was a story about this. Or it was a scripture, something about that.dot and that person can say, oh yeah, that's in you know Psalms two, five, or, you know, whatever. I have no idea what that is without looking, but, but you don't have to be this special person that has all of this biblical scripture memorized. You just talk, you just have a conversation and you just make your needs known.

So let's talk about the different kinds of prayer so that we can kind of dispel this whole pressure around what prayer should sound like or look like. Let's talk a little bit about what prayer is. So the first thing I there's different kinds of prayer. And the first thing I always I always start with, and this is just me and there is no particular order. There's no rule about how you start, what, when you start, when you pray. I mean, I literally pray throughout the day. I'm always talking and having a conversation with God about different things. But the first thing I do is I think, God, so I give praise and worship and thankfulness in, in in making sure that I take time to thank him for all of the, he's done all that he is doing and all that I know that he will do.

And I think that shows acknowledgement of everything that he's done and it shows love and respect and, you know, the reverence that we have for him and just giving him that do thankfulness and praise and, you know, it's great to always start every, every situation every day, every end, every day before you go to bed in thankfulness and in gratitude, there's so much power in, you know, if you can start your day off with what are you thankful for, or what are you grateful for? What, what do you have gratitude for that? Just start your day off in such a powerful way, way. So that's how I start off. I always start with thank, you know, thanking him, praising him and just worshiping him for all that he's done. And the next thing, and again, these are not in any particular order. This is just the different kinds of prayers that I tend to think of when I'm praying is petition intersession.

So this is where we are asking our own needs, but we're also asking in praying for concerns that we have for others. And you know, specifically, I like to focus this on the needs of others and it can be people or families or organizations but just you government, government leadership, those kinds of things, what is it that we need in our communities and in our, and in families that we know of this really just helps us to intercede and internalize God's wor
