6.1 Why it's Hard to Pray for Certain People

Do you ever have a hard time praying for certain people in your life?

Then listen in as Angie Elkins, Kindra Stanton, and I talk about why it can be so hard to find the words to say when we pray for certain people. 

You'll hear us share specific examples of tricky relationships that we personally have a hard time praying for as well as a sneak peak into a few of the tricky relationships that we will be praying through this season on the Prayers of REST podcast.

Angie Elkins is the editor for the Prayers of REST podcast and also hosts her own show Chatologie with Angie Elkins. Her podcast moves people closer to God and each other by starting conversations that matter. In 2020 she launched Angie Elkins Media, where along with her team, she edits and produces multiple podcasts including Prayers of REST, The Happy Hour with Jamie Ivey, Your Enneagram Coach the podcast, and The Glass House with Ben & Lynley Mandrell. Angie also loves teaching others to launch their podcasts and thrive as podcasters at thepodcastcoach.org. You can find her on Instagram at @angiebrownelkins.

Kindra Stanton is the production manager for the Prayers of REST Podcast and is also my ministry assistant! She is passionate about the Word of God and loves teaching women and girls how to read their Bibles well. You can find her on instagram at @kinda_kindra.

Are you excited about this new season? Then text a few friends and start a Prayers of REST prayer group! It’s simple: just invite a few friends, commit to listening to the prayer episode each week, and then share with each other what God is revealing to you in prayer. Pray for each other, encourage each other, and maybe once a month try to meet together for a time of live prayer together. Why? Because we learn how to pray not by reading a book about prayer or listening to a sermon about prayer, but by actually praying together.

Until we meet again, may you find rest in God’s loving presence.
