"God wants us to come to Him immediately when we face problems. Prayer is more about access than answers."
In this week's episode of The BraveHearted Woman Podcast, I am joined by Janet McHenry, an award-winning author and prayer expert.
With 27 books to her name, including the bestsellers PrayerWalk and Praying Personalities, Janet shares her journey of faith, resilience, and the power of prayer. She opens up about a life-altering legal battle her family faced in 2005, revealing how her deep relationship with God and a habit of prayer walking sustained her through that challenging season.
Janet also discusses her latest devotional, Looking Up, which offers 365 daily inspirations drawn from her years of reading the Bible cover to cover. Designed for men and women alike, her devotional encourages readers to find joy and hope in God’s Word, even in life’s desert seasons. Janet’s message of taking “the next right step” and trusting God is a powerful reminder for women facing their own trials.
Whether you're seeking inspiration for your prayer life, or looking for practical encouragement to persevere, this episode is a heartfelt exploration of faith in action!
