Every Christian entrepreneur knows that prayer is key, but if we’re honest, many of us struggle with it. Whether it’s forgetting to pray, feeling like we don’t have time, or wrestling with unanswered prayers, we can fall into guilt and shame. In this episode, Heather Shriver-Burns gets real about why prayer feels difficult, the unseen battles that make it challenging, and how you can shift your posture to make prayer one of your greatest business strategies.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✔ What prayer really is (Hint: it’s not just talking—there’s a key second part!) ✔ The common struggles Christian entrepreneurs face when it comes to prayer ✔ Why the enemy hates prayer and how spiritual warfare plays a role ✔ The neuroscience behind prayer and how it physically rewires your brain ✔ Practical ways to make prayer a non-negotiable in your business

Key Takeaways:
  • Prayer is simply talking and listening to God—just like any real conversation.
  • Struggling with prayer doesn’t mean something is wrong with you. You’re not alone.
  • The enemy knows the power of prayer, which is why distractions and doubts creep in.
  • Science backs up what the Bible says—prayer transforms your brain and thought patterns.
  • Making prayer a habit starts with shifting your mindset and creating intentional space for it.
Action Steps:

1️⃣ Identify what’s holding you back. Is it busyness, doubt, disappointment, or something else? 2️⃣ Shift your posture. See prayer as a privilege, not an obligation. 3️⃣ Start small. Even a few minutes of focused prayer can be powerful. 4️⃣ Make it practical. Schedule prayer into your business day like an appointment with God. 5️⃣ Listen, don’t just talk. God wants to guide you, but you have to give Him space to speak.

Scripture to Reflect On:

"Be still and know that I am God." — Psalm 46:10
