You’ve believed. You’ve quoted Scripture. You’ve tried to have faith, tried to be patient, tried not to grow weary—and yet some of the things you’ve been praying for still haven’t changed.\n\nSometimes we reach a place where we realize:\nMore than we need God to answer our prayers, we need God Himself.\n\nThis week on Made to Pray, we’re making room for a fresh encounter with Him.\nNot something we can manufacture.\nNot another formula to follow.\nNot another thing we need to work harder to make happen.\nWe’re simply praying:\nGod, interrupt us.\nInterrupt our routines.\nInterrupt our striving.\nInterrupt the endless scrolling.\n\nMeet us in our homes, our cars, our workplaces, our worship, our conversations, and the ordinary moments of our days.\nRemind us that You are right here—closer than our breath.\n\nKarrilee shares Isaiah 30:18–21, a passage she has been reading and praying throughout the week.

In worship. In conversations. In nature. Through another person. While doing the laundry. Even while we’re mindlessly scrolling.\n\nBecause God doesn’t only want us to know about Him. He wants us...","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}
