You should pray in the morning. You should write out your prayers. You should make prayer lists and pray through them every day. You should pray with others or out loud. We've all heard the "you shoulds" of prayer from pulpits, presenters, and well-meaning friends. But when none of these ways to pray feel natural, what's next? Janet Holm McHenry has studied prayer extensively, and the one thing she knows for sure is that there's no one-size-fits-all way to pray. Instead, there are different styles of prayer—and by discovering the style most instinctive to each individual personality, staying in touch with God throughout the day becomes simple and all the more joyful. In this book, the author helps readers determine their particular praying personality by examining the praying styles of biblical people, spiritual gifts, and various ideas about personality, including the classic temperaments, the Enneagram, and more. McHenry includes scores of bulleted suggestions for developing a praying lifestyle that works for individuals. She has also created a Praying Personality Quiz for readers (available in the book and online) to help narrow down the style that will most naturally fit into how they process a prayer life. Whether a longtime Christian who has tried various prayer strategies but can't keep up or a new believer looking to learn about this spiritual discipline, every reader who dives into this book will come away with a renewed prayer life and a greater understanding of who God created them to be. I pray you are encouraged by this episode.

Your Hope-Filled Perspective with Dr. Michelle Bengtson podcast
Episode Summary: Do you ever feel uncomfortable praying in public? Do you ever envy the prayer-life or prayer style of others after you hear them pray? Do you ever feel guilty for not praying more like those you admire? What if I assured you that God is more interested in your heart and in having a relationship than he is the eloquence of your prayers? Join me with Janet McHenry to discover how your personality influences your prayer life and learn practical ways to pray so that you find your natural prayer style. Quotables from the episode: I started prayerwalking in the fall of 1998, and as I began to see answers to my prayers for the people in my little town, I started a search through God's Word to understand more about prayer. As I read from Genesis to Revelation each year, I marked up references to prayer with a circled P. Those two practices—prayerwalking and studying prayer—led me to begin writing about prayer. Perhaps how we pray most naturally has something to do with our personality. We can shed the guilt about what we're doing or not doing about prayer by understanding what might be our natural prayer style. Problem-Solvers like multi-tasking, so you might consider prayerwalking or praying as you exercise—and putting sticky note reminders around your home to pray. What I call “Friends of God” might find singing along to worship music or praying with your family daily brings joy into your life. Organized Pray-ers (also called Lamenters) prefer organized systems, so they enjoy keeping lists or writing out their prayers or creating a special prayer closet for their quiet time with God. Peace Makers seek prayer as a respite from the world. They are an informal sort who might need prayer books or prayer apps to jump-start their prayer time with a cuppa coffee. The important thing to remember is that we commit to spending time with our Father God, who has initiated the conversation with us. Prayer is more about access than answers. Scripture References: 1 Thessalonians 5:17 “Pray without ceasing.” Luke 11:9 “'Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.'” Matthew 6:10 “Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” Recommended Resources: Praying Personalities: Finding Your Natural Prayer Style by Janet McHenry Praying Personality Quiz Prayer Helps: Scripture-Based Prayers When You Don't Know How to Pray . . . when listeners sign up for my monthly mini-magazine, Looking Up! at JanetMcHenry.com PrayerWalk by Janet McHenry The Complete Guide to the Prayers of Jesus by Janet McHenry Sacred Scars: Resting in God's Promise That Your Past Is Not Wasted by Dr. Michelle Bengtson The Hem of His Garment: Reaching Out to God When Pain Overwhelms by Dr. Michelle Bengtson YouVersion 5-Day Devotional Reaching Out To God When Pain Overwhelms Today is Going to be a Good Day: 90 Promises to Start Your Day Off Right by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner of the AWSA 2023 Inspirational Gift Book of the Year Award, the Christian Literary Awards Reader's Choice Award in four categories, and the Christian Literary Awards Henri Award for Devotionals YouVersion 7-Day Devotional, Today is Going to be a Good Day YouVersion 7-Day Devotional, Today is Going to be Another Good Day Breaking Anxiety's Grip: How to Reclaim the Peace God Promises by Dr. Michelle Bengtson Breaking Anxiety's Grip Free Study Guide Free 7-Day YouVersion Bible Reading Plan for Breaking Anxiety's Grip Hope Prevails: Insights from a Doctor's Personal Journey Through Depression by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner of the Christian Literary Award Reader's Choice Award Hope Prevails Bible Study by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner of the Christian Literary Award Reader's Choice Award Trusting God Through Cancer 1 Trusting God Through Cancer 2 Revive & Thrive Women's Conference Subdue Stress and Anxiety: Fifteen Experts Offer Comprehensive Tools in Ten Minutes a Day.

5–Minute Parenting: Tips to Help You Raise Competent, Godly Kids.
In this episode of 5-Minute Parenting, I am joined by special guest Janet McHenry, author of 26 books, including "Praying Personalities: Finding Your Natural Prayer Style." Janet shares her journey of discovering the various prayer styles individuals have, and how these styles are influenced by their unique personalities. Janet's insight has come partially from exploring the different ways individuals in the Bible approached God. When we see their unique approaches to prayer, we can better understand how everyone has their own unique way of approaching God in prayer. From the perspective of a parent, Janet also discusses the importance of understanding and nurturing a child's natural praying style, emphasizing the value of recognizing and respecting individuality in praying styles. Janet also provides a glimpse into her book, "Prayer Changes Teens: How to Parent from Your Knees," offering practical guidance for parents navigating prayer in the context of parenting teens.Find out more about Janet and her books on her website.Check out free resources and downloads on my website: Website: http://SandraKayChambers.com Follow Me on Social Media: Instagram: http://instagram.com/SandraKayChambers Facebook: http://facebook.com/SandraKayChambersauthor Pinterest: http://www.pinterest.com/SandraKayChamberswriter Thanks to my Virtual Assistant, Alyssa Avant (https://alyssaavantandcompany.com), for her tech genius and help with this podcast.

"When we view (perceive) prayer as a call to duty or a responsibility, it also affects how we approach it. We feel obliged to pray and guilty when we don't do it. This perspective often leads us to believe that negative consequences may befall us if we neglect prayer and makes our prayer life driven by fear and guilt. But, 2 Timothy 1:7 states, 'For God has not given us a spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.'"Does our perception process affect our prayer life? In Part 2, Janet McHenry, author of Praying Personalities: Finding Your Natural Prayer Style, continues to guide us into understanding the difference between perceiving prayer as a privilege instead of a responsibility. She also invites us to get to know our individual, God-breathed pray-er personality.Join the adventure:Heartlift Central on Substack. This is our new online meeting place for heartlifters worldwide.

How can we have a prayerful approach to the holidays? Welcome to another episode of Flourish-Meant, where we delve into topics that help us embrace a more prayerful approach to life. I'm your host, Tina Yeager, and today we have a special guest, Janet McHenry, who will guide us in developing a prayerful approach to the holidays. Janet is an experienced prayer warrior and the author of the book Praying Personalities, which explores different prayer styles and helps readers find their own natural prayer personality. As we navigate the holiday season, it's important to approach it prayerfully rather than with worries and concerns. Janet will share wisdom on how to customize our holidays and accommodate each other's differences in prayer. Join us as we discover how a prayerful approach can bring glory to Jesus and truly flourish our family lives, even in the midst of challenges. Welcome back, Janet! Janet McHenry is a prayer enthusiast who believes that each person has a unique way of communicating with God. Through her studies of prayer in the Bible, she discovered that praying people approached God differently based on their personalities. For example, she observed how Moses engaged in a cerebral conversation with God, trying to reason with him about his call to lead the people of Israel. This resonated with Janet, as she prefers approaching prayer with rationality and understanding, grounding her faith in God's word. However, she also recognizes that others may have a more emotive approach, being emotionally charged during their prayer experiences. Janet uses her knowledge and understanding of prayer to encourage individuals to embrace their own unique style of communicating with God. In this episode, we discussed: The importance of approaching the holidays prayerfully rather than with worry and stress. How different personalities approach prayer and how to accommodate each other's differences during the holidays. Practical suggestions and strategies for developing a customized, prayerful approach to the holidays.
TAKEAWAYSWhen you lose your reputation in a community, it's really hard to get it back, but you should always show the love of Christ no matter whatWe all experience some kind of injustice or unfairness in our lives because life is simply unfair in many aspectsJesus taught us how to forgive in Luke 23:34 where He says, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”Janet says that years of working on the trial together with her husband brought them closer together and closer to God
Forgiveness is a profound and integral cornerstone of the Christian faith, but applying it to our everyday lives is easier said than done. Janet McHenry lived through years of hellish court battles when her husband was charged with seven wrongful animal abuse charges after a massive two-day blizzard buried six calves and an old bull on their California ranch. Her husband was convicted of six felony charges by an aggressive judge, but later, the Court of Appeals unanimously overturned that ruling. Janet talks about how the experience taught her and her husband to truly and completely forgive the people who did them wrong. She is also the author of 26 books, including several that are focused on developing a strong prayer life.

If you like to spend time in the kitchen, you know that it's important to understand what you're making before you gather your ingredients and begin cooking.

She is a national speaker and the author of 25 books, with six of those on prayer, including the bestselling PrayerWalk and her newest, The Complete Guide to the Prayers of Jesus. Janet has written in a variety of genres: Christian living, gift books, Bible studies, devotionals, as well as children's board books, first chapter books, girls' mysteries, and a cozy mystery for adults. She is an expert on “studying the form” and can easily shift from one kind of writing to another. In this conversation, we dive into this concept, why it's so important for writers, and how to start applying it to your writing today. Make sure to check out her website at https://www.janetmchenry.com, where you can also grab her free ebook, Prayer Helps—Scripture-based Prayers When You Don't Know How to Pray.

Your Hope-Filled Perspective with Dr. Michelle Bengtson podcast
Episode Summary: I don't know about you, but at times my prayer life gets a bit stale. Sometimes, I need to do something to elevate it a little bit and bring new life into my prayers. In this episode, I talk with Janet McHenry about her book, The Complete Guide to The Prayers of Jesus. Janet shares how when she began to walk and pray. It changed her life and it will change yours as well. Quotables from the episode: I began to realize that, you know, that I wasn't the only one who had prayer needs. I could begin to open up my eyes around me and begin to intercede for others in prayer. I've prayer walked around the school campuses, to me that's a huge focus. I prayer walk around the city offices and our county offices, and I know of lot of those people there as well. You begin to become more invested in your community. I remember walking with an elderly friend of mine, her name was June. She passed away some years ago. But well into her 80's, she was still walking. One day she said, even in my own block, she said Janet, who lives there, and I said I don't know and that's a shame. I will find out. I realized as I was reading through the Bible and marking all these various instances in regard to prayer, that really, He (Jesus) is a prayer mentor. Even the disciples said, Lord, teach us how to pray. They didn't know how to pray. They believed but they still didn't know how to pray. I call my life an organic prayer life because it ebbs and flows all day long. Instead of having, thinking like well, I need to have 5 extra minutes today to pray and then check, it's done. I don't think it's done. I think God wants more of us then just 5 minutes of our day. I want the sense that God is glorified because of who I am, not some magic formula prayer that I do once a day. Not some good act, here or there. Not because I may fast, oh my goodness, you know. Jesus simply encouraged us to have time with our Father and to desire that. You know that can be a huge desire of our lives simply to make our life reflective of the Father we love. Jesus embraced the trouble He was in. He still wanted God to be glorified through Him. As hard as that is, I say that's a really hard prayer because we want the bad stuff to go away. We just want to be blessed. Lord, favor me. Lord, bless me. That was never Jesus' prayer. He never said that. He said glorify Yourself in my life. I believe that God wants us to pray big. He says, “with man, this is impossible, but all things are possible with God.” I believe that is a teaching related to prayer. He said ask and you receive. He called people to bigger things, so I think that we are supposed to pray big and expect God to show up. In our inadequacies He will be made known and magnified. I have what I call Prayer Walking Eyes. So, as I see needs, I just immediately pray. You can pray and you know that God will hear your prayer and that it is having an effect. You can be a partner with God in the needs for the people around you, your family, the community. Scripture Referenced: Matthew 6:9-13 NIV “This, then, is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.'" 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 ESV "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." Matthew 27:46 ESV "And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” that is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Matthew 19:26 NIV Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” Recommended Resources: The Complete Guide to the Prayers of Jesus: What He Prayed and How It Will Change Your Life Today The “Why” Prayer 20 Prayers for Anxiety, Worry and Fear to Usher in God's Peace The Power of Praying in the Courtroom of Heaven Prayer of Trust: The Secret to Emotional Peace How to Use Scripture to Pray through Difficult Emotions – Episode 122 Why Doesn't God Answer My Prayers?

Episode 75 - Have you ever wondered if there was more to prayer than you've experienced? Stephanie welcomes Janet McHenry today for a refreshing look at the importance of prayerwalking. You've maybe heard the term. Do you know what it means, and how simple it actually is? Few practices yield as many results and exciting growth as prayerwalking. Janet McHenry discovered the organic connection between praying and walking out of necessity--for health reasons. But she discovered far more than that--she discovered a lifestyle, the lifestyle of praying all day long as easily as breathing. Janet tells us, "Prayer is more about access, than about answers." "God wants to pray big. He wants us to pray boldly." "The world can become your prayer-closet." Janet is giving a copy of her bestselling book, Prayerwalking, to one Gospel Spice Podcast listener!

Does your New Year's resolution include 'exercise regularly' and 'pray more'? Those are always on the top of mine! I have great intentions and really do want my physical and spiritual life to grow stronger, but let's face it the to do lists, family demands and unforeseen events can take my energy away and I am sad to admit, time in prayer. Janet knows how hard it is to stick to it, so she combined both of her resolutions and started prayerwalking!

What do we do when God says no to what we've been praying for? If you've clicked over to this podcast, let me tell you right now: You're supposed to be here right now. I don't even know about your life. But, I know that you need to click play on this episode and hear what my friend, Janet McHenry, has to say. She's the best-selling author of the book, Prayer walk, and the author of the newest book, The Complete Prayers of Jesus. Today, Janet speaks powerful, divine wisdom into the hard question: What do we do when God says no? He didn't heal your loved one; He didn't stop your parent from abandoning you; He allowed the divorce to happen; He hasn't rescued your child from drugs; He's allowed your financial or legal trouble to cost you everything. You aren't alone if you're confused or angry because God hasn't answered your prayer the way that you'd hoped. There are verses in the Bible about God giving us the desires of our heart and God invites us to ask Him for anything. Yet, how do we reconcile God's command for us to pray and ask Him for anything, but He doesn't give us everything that we want. It's confusing, right? As she walks us through Jesus' prayers, including the prayer where God says no to Jesus, Janet explains God's ultimate purpose for us in prayer. Her teaching is so, so, good! If you are hurting or angry at God, BUT you want to have a relationship with Him, then listen. If you're angry with God and not quite ready for her message today, that's okay. You can email me at barb@barbroose.com and share your story with me. I'd love to pray for you. In today's episode, Janet and I discuss: The two-sided coin prayer that Jesus prayed - and we can pray this, too! Three actions that Jesus took when God said no to Jesus' prayer - and we must do this, too! Janet shares the story of what happened in her life when God said no and even as the worst case scenario happened, Janet discovered the blessing that happened even when God said no.

In their town of 700+ folks, she says they have raised four pretty good children – all done with college and married – and are now enjoying the grandkids, all of whom are perfect.
