E6: Praying for Others & Yourself: Intercessory Prayer and Prayer Journaling | Bible Study for Women

E6: Praying for Others & Yourself: Intercessory Prayer and Prayer Journaling | Bible Study for Women
Season 1

Welcome back, friends. In this episode of our Bible study for women, we explore how to pray for others, how to pray for yourself, and how to keep a prayer journal, even as a busy woman, wife, or mom. This episode focuses on intercessory prayer, trusting God for miracles, and developing a consistent prayer life. 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 without doubting God’s ability to perform miracles? How do we keep up with our friends’ prayer requests as busy wives, moms, and women? Is praying for your own needs selfish? How do we pray for ourselves better? How do we pray for our friends and family better?

✨ Episode Topics

  • Intercessory prayer for friends and family
  • Praying for yourself without guilt
  • Prayer journaling methods for busy women
  • Trusting God for miracles
  • Growing a consistent prayer life

✨ Episode Summary

In this episode, we explore that in Acts 12, as Peter has a group of church members praying fervently for him, they may indeed not be praying with full belief in the miracles God can perform. Is that because they received a “no” and “wait” many times before this request? Are they afraid to be let down by God again? Do they prefer to half-heartedly pray and be surprised rather than pray with full belief and be let down? Can we relate to this today?

How can we change our mindset on miracles?
