In this episode, I get real about something I used to struggle with: prayer. For a long time, my prayer life felt inconsistent, awkward, and even pointless. I often wondered if God even heard me—and when I didn’t see answers, discouragement took over.
But this year, God has shifted my perspective in powerful ways. I’ve learned that prayer isn’t about begging—it’s about trust, surrender, and relationship. And the truth is: He hears us the very first time we pray.
Together we’ll walk through Daniel 10, unpack how spiritual battles can delay answers without silencing God’s ear, and I’ll share practical prayer strategies for the seasons when you’re still waiting.
If you’ve ever wondered whether your prayers really matter, this episode will encourage you.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
•Why prayer often feels intimidating or “pointless”
•The danger of approaching prayer with a begging mindset
•Encouragement from Daniel 10 and the angel’s message to Daniel
•7 practical strategies to strengthen your prayer life (adoration, praying God’s Word, spiritual warfare, surrender, wisdom, development, and gratitude)

Takeaway:
You are not a beggar—you are a child of God. Your prayers are heard, and even in the waiting, He is working.
