#100 Daily Prayer Without the Pressure: Ignatian Wisdom for Busy Catholics with Fr. James Kubicki, SJ
04/22/25 • 58 min
Do you feel overwhelmed by prayer routines or unsure how to stay connected with God in daily life? In this beautiful episode, Kylie is joined by Fr. James Kubicki, Jesuit priest and author of A Year of Daily Offerings: Giving Your Life to God One Day at a Time, to explore how simple acts of prayer — rooted in Ignatian spirituality — can help us live every moment for Christ.
They discuss:
- The power of the Morning Offering and how to pray even in busy seasons.
- Why reviewing your day (the Ignatian Examen) deepens your awareness of God's presence.
- How to offer your prayers, works, joys, and sufferings for God’s glory — without needing to "do more."
- How to navigate spiritual dryness, desolation, and avoid the temptation to overcomplicate prayer.
- Temptation and discernment: St. Ignatius’ timeless wisdom for battling anxiety, overwhelm, and perfectionism.
If you’ve ever struggled with comparing your spiritual life to others or felt like you’re not “doing enough,” this episode will encourage you to slow down and trust that God desires your heart, not your hustle.
📖 P.S. Fr. Kubicki shares why your time is the most valuable gift you can offer to God.

Have you ever cried out to God and been met with silence? Have you prayed and fasted, only to feel like things are getting worse instead of better?
In this Holy Week episode of The Persistence in Prayer Podcast, Catholic speaker and author Kevin Wells joins Kylie to share a raw and deeply moving testimony of marriage, addiction, spiritual warfare, and the power of redemptive suffering.
