Episode 5: How to Pray and Why Do We Pray? (Bible Study for Women)

Hi friends, in today’s episode, we are now in week three of this 23-week Bible study, talking about how to pray and why we pray. This is a great podcast for busy women. As a busy woman, I understand what your life is like, and I am excited to walk with you through this. How do you pray? How do we keep a relationship with God as busy wives, moms, and women? What is prayer supposed to look like? What is the purpose of prayer if God hears our thoughts before we speak them? Why do we have to pray? It is simple.

✨ Episode Summary

In this episode, we explore an intimate prayer from Elijah to God in Scripture. We learn that prayer is about more than speaking nonsense to manipulate getting our way. Prayer carries the purpose of intercession for others and building our own relationship with God. You talk to your friends, correct? We learn that prayer is the place we get to express our emotions to our Father, who wants to hear them.
