Podcasts about praying

If your children carried their biggest hopes, dreams, and deepest desires in their hearts, wouldn't you want them to come to you with those requests? So many entrepreneurs hesitate to bring their big asks to God, especially when it comes to money, business growth, or new opportunities. We convince ourselves it's selfish, silly, or too small to pray about. But God cares about every part of your life, including the vision He placed inside you. In today's video, I'm encouraging entrepreneurs to go to God boldly and honestly with every desire, no matter the size. Your business, your breakthroughs, and your future matter to Him, and you don't have to carry those dreams alone. Important Links: Lacking the tools to reach your goals in business?

351 – What do you ask for in your prayers?A new job, a good relationship, to be healed of an emotional problem or physical disease? What about asking God for guidance in what to do with your life and how to fulfill your purpose?Sometimes we ask God for small things and sometimes our prayers have a broader scope. But all too often we don't go as broad and as deep as we could in what we ask for in prayer.  Considering everything that's going on in the world right now, it's time to be bold in what we ask for, like Elisha when he asked for a double portion of Elijah's spirit.In this episode, we're going to talk about what that means and how you and I can do it today.∞∞∞∞∞∞∞SHOW NOTES: For a full transcript and all Bible quotes thebiblespeakstoyou.com/351Text me your questions or comments.Support the showIf you enjoy the podcast, please rate and leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify__________________James Early, the Jesus Mindset Coach, is a Bible teacher, speaker, and podcaster.

Judging others can feel instinctive—especially when we think we see someone’s motives clearly. Yet Scripture reminds us that our focus on others often reveals what’s in our own hearts. Matthew 7:3 challenges us to examine ourselves before pointing out the faults of others. This devotional explores how a critical spirit can be transformed into a heart of blessing, freeing us to walk in purity and God’s favor. Intersecting Faith & Life Reflect on these questions: When do you find yourself judging or critiquing others? How might God want you to adjust your heart and your perspective? What would it look like to bless someone who frustrates or challenges you? How can letting go of control over others’ actions deepen your relationship with God? Do you want to listen ad-free?

She is only on social media because she wants people to see her, not because she really cares about anyone or Jesus... She's really in it for herself, and she wants everyone online to know—where she's traveling, what she is doing, how she is looking. My mind started to go down this critical thinking track again. That is—until I stopped—and then I hung my head down in shame. The hard truth is—I have judged so many. I have sized up people's intent online. I have sized up and surmised people's wrong motives. I made judgments about people's hearts that only God can know. I have hardened my heart towards people who are even doing the will of God... by deciding they are doing it for attention, for public perception, or for their own recognition. I hung my head down, saying, "God, what do I know?" Only God knows. And what I am judging is what I am walking in. Meaning, I think it is about them, but what I am seeing is actually about me. It is worth taking a second to consider. "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?" (Matt. 7:3) If I spot it, I likely got it. When push comes to shove, or when truth comes to light—I am doing what I am judging. I am seeking attention. I sometimes do things so others can see me. I have wrong motives. No wonder God has shut doors on me; in His grace and love, He wants me to see rightly, so I can then move powerfully with a pure heart. In His saying no, He has created a special room for me to examine my heart. I also see that as I rectify my heart, there is great hope for big, yes opportunities from God. The truth is, other people's motives are not my issue. My motive is. What they do is none of my business. Now I can see that I have been wrong. Dead wrong. But now I turn back to Christ. As I repent of this critical spirit and my wrong motives, they are removed as far as the East is from the West (Ps. 103:12). Here, I can do a new thing to defeat this critical spirit: I can bless rather than distress others... What does this look like? It looks like: Noticing when I am criticizing. Stopping that mental track. Ditching making them my business. Praying a blessing over them instead. Essentially, I can stop, bless, and then progress onward. Their motives are not my business. Me, keeping a pure heart? That's the business I am to be about. Intersecting Faith & Life: When do you find yourself judging or critiquing people? How might God want you to adjust course? What would it look like for you to bless those who curse you? What would it look like for you to let go of things or people you cannot control?

While there are many things to look towards to measure what type of disciples we are, perhaps we do not look at prayer enough. Jesus gave the greatest demonstration of what a real prayer life looks like, and good disciples will model their prayer lives after His. John 17.

What does the Corinthian passage about head coverings, women and men really mean? Do we need to be praying for our enemies? Who exactly are they? What does it mean to be worldly? How do we avoid being worldly?

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260207dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion At the time of sacrifice, the prophet Elijah stepped forward and prayed: “LORD, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, let it be known today that you are God in Israel and that I am your servant and have done all these things at your command. Answer me, LORD, answer me, so these people will know that you, LORD, are God, and that you are turning their hearts back again.” 1 Kings 18:36-37 Praying with Purpose If you are like me, there is a good chance that at some time in your life, you prayed for millions of dollars. Especially when I was a child, I had a long list of things that I would do with those million dollars. Of course, I would give some of it to church, but the main point of asking was to get something for myself. Maybe things change when you grow up a little. Perhaps you no longer say as many self-centered prayers. Yet, because we are sinful human beings, our prayers can still be tainted with improper motivation: selfishness, greed, and pride. When Elijah prayed, he prayed with a purpose that displayed Godly motivation. When he confronted the prophets of Baal on Mt. Carmel, he wasn’t there to bring glory to himself. He didn’t pray ‘Lord, if this doesn’t work, I’m really going to look stupid!’ Elijah had but one reason for asking God to consume the altar he had built with fire: “…so these people will know that you, “LORD, are God, and that you are turning their hearts back again.” When we pray for ministries, job opportunities, and any blessing from God, we may be tempted to pray with all kinds of selfish motives. But remember that what matters in this world is not so much WHAT we accomplish, but FOR WHOM we accomplish it. Like Elijah, we too can pray with this one purpose in mind: that people may know that the Lord is God. Then, however God chooses to answer our prayers, we will continue to be his witnesses to the ends of the earth. Prayer: Heavenly Father, move my heart to utter prayers that are pleasing in your sight. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

350 – Do you know your spiritual identity?It's FREEDOM FRIDAYHow often do you really stop and ponder that you are a child of God? All too often we identify ourselves based on what we have done or not done, the accomplishments or the failures we've had.And it's very easy to fall into identifying yourself with the sins and mistakes you've made over the years. But the way you see yourself, the way you identify yourself, determines to a large degree how you will act and interact with others.God has created you in His image likeness. That is your true spiritual identity. The more clearly you see yourself in this light, the more freedom you'll find from past mistakes and labels of limitation.And that's what this episode of Freedom Friday is all about.∞∞∞∞∞∞∞PLAYLIST about spiritual identity: The Journey of Self DiscoverySHOW NOTES: Full transcript and Bible quotes–thebiblespeakstoyou.com/350Text me your questions or comments.Support the showIf you enjoy the podcast, please rate and leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify__________________James Early, the Jesus Mindset Coach, is a Bible teacher, speaker, and podcaster.

Praying to the Sovereign God, from our Midweek Bible Study: "Praying With Paul" - 2.4.26 Taught by Jonathan Bowman. Presented by McGregor Podcast 2026 Visit Our Website at McGregorPodcast.com

How do you pray God's will—without trying to control the outcome? In this episode, we break down what Scripture actually teaches about the will of God and how to pray in alignment with His truth and character. Learn the difference between bold, biblical prayer and self-centered or "manifesting" language, and discover how God's will is revealed through His Word—not guesswork. If you're a woman seeking clarity, confidence, and depth in your prayer life, this teaching will help you pray with boldness, humility, and trust. In this episode, we examine: ✓ What is the will of God? (Romans 12:2, 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, Micah 6:8) ✓ How to discern God's will through a renewed mind ✓ The difference between praying boldly and praying selfishly ✓ Why God doesn't always give us a "blueprint" for decisions ✓ How to pray freely without fear of getting it "wrong" ✓ Biblical prayer vs. manifestation theology

What if God delights in your thirst more than your strength? In this episode of Light + Truth, John Piper draws from Isaiah 64:4 to describe God as a soul-satisfying spring in our deepest need.

What do you do when you keep praying for God to remove someone… and they're still here?In Episode 278, a listener writes in about dating a man who came in strong — intentional, consistent, saying all the right things, and claiming his goal was marriage and family. But once she finally became his girlfriend, the effort disappeared. No thoughtfulness. No intentional dates. Barely any engagement. He doesn't ask questions, doesn't remember what she shares, talks over her, talks down to her, and she's left wondering if he's even a kind person.What makes it harder is that it feels like no one in his world knows she exists — friends, family, everyone. She's prayed and prayed for God to remove him if he isn't meant for her… but instead of him leaving, they keep “working through it,” while going nowhere. Now she's trying to discern whether this is God telling her to stay, or whether God has already shown her enough — and she needs to choose clarity, boundaries, and peace.We talk about the danger of over-spiritualizing what's actually a decision, why you can't keep letting someone's indecision set the pace for your life, and what it looks like to stop waiting for a person to change when the reality is already loud.Have you ever stayed too long because you were waiting for God to make the exit obvious?Resources & LinksFather Yourself Firsthttps://www.amazon.com/Father-Yourself-First-Everything-Deserves/dp/1400252555Release Rest Remainhttps://a.co/d/ihBmSdOYvette's Email Listhttps://yvettehenry.com/join-the-listRelease Rest Remain Bible Reading Planhttps://www.bible.com/en/reading-plans/64646Premarital Advantagehttps://howmarriedareyoupodcast.mykajabi.com/offers/VAbsx8N2Black Men's Meetinghttps://partiful.com/e/kuXEBUC7PHfydRmI3sz4?HMAY Amazon Storefront (affiliate)https://www.amazon.com/shop/howmarriedareyou?ref_=cm_sw_r_apin_aipsfshop_0EGMQR9KJ94D8YGCDMV7&language=en-US

Don't forget to grab your free scripture journal at ⁠⁠⁠PrayingChristianWomen.com/journal ⁠⁠⁠today!Can a heart stained by the worst kinds of betrayal ever truly be restored?? When the world demands justice, does God offer a different way back? In this devotional on Psalm 51, we step into the wreckage of King David’s greatest failure—the affair with Bathsheba and the murder of Uriah. We move beyond a simple apology to uncover the specific Hebrew anatomy of David's confession: Pesha (rebellion), Avon (twistedness), and Hata'ah (missing the mark). We explore the shocking reality that under Mosaic Law, David should have faced the death penalty, yet he boldly asks God to "create a way" where the law offered none. Join host Jaime Hampton on the Praying Christian Women podcast for a session of radical vulnerability. If you’ve ever felt like your mistakes have disqualified you from God’s presence, or that you are not worthy due to your past mistakes, this episode offers a roadmap from guilt to gladness.

In this short devotional-style episode, I reflect on how good, meaningful responsibilities can quietly compete for our attention — and how God gently calls us back when our priorities drift. Drawing from Exodus 20:3, this episode explores what it means to put God first in full seasons of life: post-holiday busyness, work and ministry commitments, family rhythms, early-year goals, and the subtle habits that pull us away from presence and rest. Through a personal story and Scripture-centered reflection, I am inviting you to pause, examine what has taken first place, and consider how obedience, wisdom, and faith shape everyday choices — even the small ones. This episode is part of a growing series of shorter devotional reflections designed to create space for Scripture, prayer, and real-life application in the middle of ordinary days. Praying this meets you where you need.

Prayer isn't just something we do, but an invitation into a deeper relationship with Jesus. In this episode, Chad and Robert continue the conversation around prayer by exploring what it means to wait on the Holy Spirit. From navigating bitterness and distraction to recognizing the peace that comes from true surrender, this conversation invites us to slow down, open our hands, and trust that God meets us not through effort, but through presence.Subscribe to receive our latest videos!Website: https://www.sunvalleycc.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sunvalleycc/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sunvalleycc/Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@sunvalleyccTo support Sun Valley and help us continue to reach people all around the world click here: https://www.sunvalleycc.com/givingGod loves you no matter who you are, what you've done, or what's been done to you.

349 – Are you praying for your government?If you take an unbiased look at the government of countries all over the world, you'll often find some degree of corruption. Sometimes it doesn't run very deep but other times senior leaders and the heads of government themselves are the source of corruption.This has been going on since governments began. Is there a solution? Even when politicians claim they try to get rid of all corruption, it's a difficult thing to accomplish. Many governments don't try at all and are causing the problem.As Christians, what can you and I do about this problem? Should we get involved in politics, public demonstrations, or social activism, letter writing campaigns, calling government officials? What you decide to do is totally up to you, and not every Christian is going to feel compelled to fight corruption these ways. What we all can do is pray. But should we pray for a government when it's corrupt? Does prayer even make a difference with such a huge problem? There are lots of different ways to pray about this. How can we pray more effectively to get rid of corruption in government? Previous episodes mentionedEpisode 240: How Would Jesus Heal Political Division?                                      Episode 190: Quit trying to change something when you pray.∞∞∞∞∞∞∞SHOW NOTES: Full transcript and Bible quotes–thebiblespeakstoyou.com/349Text me your questions or comments.Support the showIf you enjoy the podcast, please rate and leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify__________________James Early, the Jesus Mindset Coach, is a Bible teacher, speaker, and podcaster.

(2 Thessalonians 2:13-3:5) - Paul expressed his thankfulness to God for their reception of the gospel which had changed - their lives in such significant ways. He encouraged them to be firmly established in the truths - that they were taught, so they would not be quickly shaken by false teaching. Paul also asked - God to strengthen them so that they would have the courage to carry out the commands given - to them by the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ. - [33 minutes]

Questions about whether we should be praying for our souls rather than for material things, why we need to pray about decisions, whether the devil can hear our prayers and tempt us with “answers,” and whether it's okay to pray for someone's death rather than healing.   Shouldn't I be praying for my soul rather than for material things such as a house or a new job—i.e., a diet version of the prosperity gospel? If I'm faced with a decision to do something that's a good thing and doesn't violate anything in Scripture, why do I need to pray about it to see if it's something God wants me to do? Can the devil hear our prayers, and if so, will he tempt us with “answers” to those prayers? Is it okay to pray for someone's death—i.e., for God to release them from suffering rather than for his miraculous healing?

Don't forget to grab your free scripture journal at ⁠⁠⁠PrayingChristianWomen.com/journal ⁠⁠⁠today!In this special "lost episode" recovered from the 2018 archives, Alana and Jaime return to the Praying Christian Women Podcast’s origin story to deconstruct the myth of the "perfect" prayer warrior. If you have ever felt that your busy schedule disqualifies you from a deep spiritual life, this conversation flips the script, redefining prayer not as a quiet-time luxury, but as the "real work" that fuels every other task. Drawing from the imagery of the Proverbs 31 woman, the hosts explore how to trade defensive, reactive panic for a proactive, offensive prayer strategy. They candidly discuss the struggle of the "inner critic," the challenge of mental focus, and the beauty of eucharisteo—finding power in thanksgiving. Whether you are a seasoned intercessor or someone just trying to find five minutes of peace, tune in to discover that you don't need a perfect quiet time to be a powerful intercessor. Come exactly as you are, and let’s learn how to trade the heavy burden of religious duty for a relationship that truly changes everything.

Praying, “Give us this day our daily bread,” is deeply formational. In a culture marked by excess and convenience, it reminds us that everything we have comes from God; Cultivating gratitude instead of entitlement, dependence instead of self-sufficiency, and generosity instead of selfishness.
