09/07/23 • 6 min

Are you discouraged over a long-time entry on your prayer list? Today's episode is one you don't want to miss. Carmen tackles this topic using Scripture and her own well-earned experience. She shares that like you, her pen is on auto-pilot for some of her requests. Listen to the end because Carmen also offers us two things prayer does for us while we wait for answers.
Declaration:
I declare over you today that you are persistent in prayer. Your confidence in God’s plan empowers you to never stop praying.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, encourage my friend today. Hear her prayers, Lord. She awaits your answer. Remind her of your love and commitment to see your plans brought to completion in her life. In Jesus’ name, amen.
