Ep. 306 Have You Ever Been Stressed Out in Prayer?

In today's fast-paced world, prayer is often seen as a refuge, yet it can sometimes become a source of stress and anxiety. This episode explores the paradox of feeling overwhelmed in moments meant for peace and reflection. We delve into the story of St. Monica, whose persistent prayers for her son, St. Augustine, were filled with both hope and anxiety. Her journey teaches us about the power of faith and the importance of trusting in God's timing, even when answers seem distant.

We'll discuss how to navigate the tension between persistence in prayer and the need for faith, offering practical insights on how to shift focus from worry to gratitude. By embracing the good, beautiful, and true, we can transform our prayer life into a source of strength and joy.

Join me as I share personal experiences and wisdom on maintaining a balanced spiritual practice. This conversation is an invitation to deepen your connection with God, find peace in uncertainty, and trust in the divine plan. Tune in for an inspiring discussion that encourages a more intentional and fulfilling prayer life.
