I quit praying for eight years because the amount of resistance wore me down. But prayer is so transformative, I want you to be able to pray in health and power.
What I noticed when I first started praying more, which coincided with being open to being a feeler.
One of the more interesting ideas I've come across in recent months.
It took only one word to open up the exit, but without that word, it was a pretty miserable ride.
Entering into the reality of different speeds for different needs.
I have seasons where I pray this prayer more than others--this is one of those seasons.
A story that seems specifically needed for this season.
I would love to see encouraging words flowing out to all those around us.
The switch from personal frustration to generosity … will be looking for other places to experiment with this!
Or faithfully fulfilling the call of God? Another example of trying to come into alignment with the Lord's ideas.
A prayer I'm experimenting with right now, seeing if my ideas aren't quite in alignment with the Lord's.

This story keeps hitting me on several fronts.
A range of thoughts on why this might not be the best activity.
Which is not necessarily the door you would choose.
Terror over a hike, finding employees, and seeking to release the boldness of the Lord in our spaces.
What if it takes a month? What if it takes a year? What if it takes five years?
What seems less appealing on the surface becomes a precious word of the Lord. And Jamie Winship's stand-alone study guide: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0800746899/

May the Lord release his goodness and his sense of fun over us all.
And a theory about why I have a strong antipathy for gambling.
Setting down the burdens we maybe don't know we're carrying.
The thesaurus, listening for the whispers of the Lord, and being okay with experimenting.
An example of how the Lord goes before and supplies all our needs and ministers grace.
Whether ending a fast early, starting a farm, or stopping an ordination process.
Asking the Lord to speak to our identity.
Praying for the ability to continue to walk the narrow path, with focus and clarity.
Worship is beautiful, but in a time of intensive prayer, turn to praise. I've been listening to "No One Like the Lord" for some days now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DjKbUQfe9U
Not loving the idea of surprises? What if it's time to watch for boxes of blessings?
When we pray, expect something to happen!
Pondering this statement. Is it true? Is it true in all circumstances?
Prayers for the humanity of intensive prayer: peace to the choppy waters, and expulsion of the things that need to be expelled.
Prayers for all who are carrying a lot.
