5 Crucial Things You Need to Know About Prayer to help you grow closer to God

Prayer doesn’t have to be formal

Prayer doesn’t have to be formal. You don’t need to go before Him with rehearsed prayers.

Simply go to Him and say hello. Ask Him for guidance to handle what’s going on.

Nothing is too big or too small for Him

God cares about everything we do, so we can take all our prayers and requests to the Lord.

“Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition (definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God.” Philippians 4:6 AMPC

prayer changes your relationship with God

Prayer takes you from the realm of religion into a relationship with Him.

It takes you from the laws of the Old Testament, into a new life with Christ.

Prayer is more than an action

Prayer is more than just an action. It’s an actual encounter with Good.

Because of God’s great love for us and the work Christ did on the cross, we can now sit in God’s presence.

Pray just as you are

God doesn’t expect us to have everything figured out before going to Him. In fact, He wants to help us through those difficult times in our life. He wants to sit in the pain with us, and give us the comfort and rest we need.

He wants to pour out His wisdom on us and help us grow into the women He created us to be.

So go to Him know, my friend. Don’t wait until you’ve cleaned up your act.

His love for you is unconditional, and He wants to help you through.

Unshackled Faith Part 2 – A Faithful God Podcast with Tammy Rotzoll

Welcome to another episode of A Faithful God Podcast! We're continuing our 3-part series called, Unshackled Faith: Releasing Unrealistic Expectations to Follow God, and today we're diving into the Bible to uncover three incredible women who didn't allow their past or circumstances stop them from serving God. In this show, we'll dig into the stories of… ✅ Rahab, a Canaanite woman from Jericho, known for her unconventional faith. ✅ Tamar whose life was marked by tragedy and bad choices. ✅ Mary Magdalene, a follower of Jesus with a difficult past. What I love about these women is that their stories are so relatable. They were considered outcasts by society's standards, didn't make great choices, and suffered grief and circumstances beyond their control. But through it all, God still loved them and used them for a special purpose. These women didn't allow their circumstances or past choices define who they were. Instead, they chose to show up just the way they were — perfectly, imperfect. We'll unpack the negative impact perfection can have on our faith walk and how it does nothing but hinder our spiritual growth. So grab those earbuds and your favorite beverage and join me for part 2 of this series as we explore how to break free from perfection, and fully embrace the life you were created for. ⏩ Grab Unshackled Faith Freebie: https://www.footprintsofinspiration.com/unshackledfaith ⏩ Join me for Grow Your Faith Community: http://growyourfaithcommunity.com/ ⏩ Subscribe to A Faithful God/Footprints of Inspiration Community: https://www.footprintsofinspiration.com/subscribe ⏩ Check out my website: http://afaithfulgod.com Mentioned in today's show:  Grab Unshackled Faith Freebie: https://www.footprintsofinspiration.com/unshackledfaith 40 Christian Affirmations: https://footprintsofinspiration.com/affirmations Follow Tammy: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/footprintsofinspiration/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FootprintsofInspiration Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/footprintsofinspiration/ This episode is not sponsored, and all products mentioned are purchased by myself.
