We need a fresh encounter with God.\n\nIn this week's episode of Made to Pray, Karrilee and Lori talk about what it means to pursue the presence of the Holy Spirit in a world filled with uncertainty, distractions, and competing voices.\nWhen we've prayed, done what we know to do, and things still don't turn out the way we hoped, how do we continue to stand in faith? How do we move beyond simply knowing about God to actually walking with Him, recognizing His voice, and responding when He invites us closer?\nTogether, we're reminded of the invitation to dwell and abide in God's presence, humble ourselves before Him, and trust that He hears our prayers—even when we can't see what He's doing.\nIn this episode, we talk about:\nTrusting God when circumstances are disappointing or beyond our control.\nThe invitation to dwell and abide in His presence (Psalm 91).\nHumility, repentance, and prayer for our homes, communities, and nation (2 Chronicles 7).\nLearning to recognize the Holy Spirit's voice and follow His leading.\nMoving from religious routines into a deeper, more personal relationship with God.\nMaking room for fresh encounters through prayer, obedience, worship, and intentional time with Him.\nThen we pray together. 🙏\nWe invite you to find a quiet place if you can, grab a journal and pen, and join us as we ask the Holy Spirit to draw us closer, awaken our faith, renew our hope, and help us recognize His presence in everyday moments.\nOur prayer is that this episode would be more than something you listen to—that it would become an invitation to encounter God for yourself.\n📖 Scriptures Referenced & Reflected On:\n2 Chronicles 7:12–16\nPsalm 91\nHebrews 11:1\n1 Corinthians 11:1\nJohn 10:27\nHebrews 4:16\nJames 1:5\n⏱️ Episode Chapters:\n00:00 — Welcome & Why We Need the Holy Spirit\n04:40 — Trusting God Through Uncertainty & Prayer\n11:23 — Psalm 91: Dwelling & Abiding in His Presence\n18:05 — Choosing Faith...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/zNHYAr8iAFNpcz_KBkNK5BccyeoYgKTgWkhvGGuyAhw/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8yYjZl/YzBmZjk2MjhiM2Vm/MTg2NGUwODFjZjY5/MWQzZC5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
