Have you ever felt uncomfortable after praying God's promises, wondering if you're trying to manipulate Him into giving you what you want? Many believers struggle with this tension—we know God's promises are real and powerful, but we worry about our own motives when we pray them. If you've ever wondered whether you're claiming promises in faith or treating God like a cosmic vending machine, this episode is for you.

In this episode, you'll discover:

  • The crucial difference between claiming God's promises and trying to manipulate God
  • How Jesus modeled the proper heart posture when praying God's promises
  • Three practical ways to pray Scripture as a foundation, not a formula
  • Why surrender and expectation can work together in prayer
  • How to focus on the Promise-giver, not just the promises
  • A powerful story of answered prayer that shows God's care for the details of our lives

INTRODUCING Rachel's BRAND-NEW resource, Praying the Promises of God, A 52-Week Guided Prayer Journal. Get your sampler or order your copy at promisesprayerjournal.com.
