Learning to trust God in our devastations and thank him in our celebrations, grows over time as we strengthen our prayer life. We all know that one prayer-warrior gal who talks to God continually—you know the one that “prays constantly” and often out loud as if no one else is around? (1 Thess. 5:17).
We are amazing at sharing life details with our our church community village, our small group people, therapists, dear family, and that ONE person whom we unload every fear and worst-case scenario onto. Going to God before going to everyone else can also become our norm when we strengthen our own prayer life! Check out these resources to strengthen your prayer life and cultivate a regular rhythm of drawing near to God.
