Transform Your Prayer Life: 6 Steps to Intimacy with God

If you've ever felt like your prayers aren't making it past the ceiling—or you don't have the right words to talk to God—this episode is for you.

But prayer isn't supposed to be a barrier between you and God. It's supposed to be a language of love—and just like any language, it takes time, repetition, and practice.

In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on my own prayer journey and sharing the six steps that transformed prayer from a religious routine into a real, intimate relationship with God.

YOU'LL LEARN:

• Why the enemy wants to keep you intimidated by prayer
• The moment I realized prayer isn't about having the right words
• How to answer when God wakes you up at midnight with no clear direction
• What happened when I obeyed God's prompting with a homeless man in DC
• The difference between praying for show and praying from the heart
• How to recognize divine appointments in the chaos of everyday life

WHAT YOU'LL WALK AWAY WITH:

• Six practical steps to build authentic intimacy with God through prayer
• Freedom from comparing your prayer life to others
• Confidence that God hears you—whether you pray two sentences or twenty minutes
• Understanding that prayer happens in the interruptions, not just the quiet times
• Your next kingdom assignment: being vigilant for God's prompts throughout the day
