131 | Being Intentional Isn’t Working & The 3 Truths About Daily Prayer

Have you ever caught yourself thinking, if only I could be more intentional with my prayer time or Bible reading, then I would hear the Holy Spirit more clearly? I used to believe that too. I had every single minute of my day scheduled out, and while intentionality is great, what if that's not actually what's keeping you from connecting with God?

In this episode, I'm diving into whether intentionality is really the answer to daily prayer and hearing God more clearly. I'm sharing my own journey from scheduling every minute to learning what actually creates space for connection with the Lord. Here's what I've discovered: Holy Spirit wants to lead us throughout our day, and Romans 8:26 reminds us that the Spirit intercedes when we don't even know what to pray. That's biblical encouragement right there.

I'm also talking about how shame and guilt actually block our connection with God. That resentment toward ourselves when we miss a day keeps us stuck instead of running to our Father who just wants to connect with us.
