There are circumstances we can't change, people we can't fix, questions we can't answer, and situations we've prayed about for so long that we're simply tired.\nIn this episode of Made to Pray, we're talking and praying about what it means to stop striving and find our refuge in the presence of God.\nWe pray through the promise of Psalm 91 and ask the Holy Spirit to teach us how to dwell under the shadow of the Almighty—not rushing in and out of God's presence, but learning to stay, rest, listen, and receive what we need for today. \n\nWe also pray about surrender, repentance, spiritual weariness, and allowing God to strip away the clutter, confusion, and heaviness we've picked up along the way. Instead of carrying it all with us, we're invited to come through the door, lay it down at Jesus' feet, and let Him refresh and restore us. \n\nAnd then, in the middle of prayer, God gives Karrilee a beautiful picture.\n\nA hammock.\n\nIn her familiar secret place with Jesus—beside a stream, surrounded by green pasture and trees—she sees a hammock and senses Jesus inviting her to lie down.\n\n“I am the hammock. You can lean back and rest in Me and trust that I will hold you.”\n\nWeightless and free—but still tethered.\n\nWhat a picture of what it means to rest in God. \n\nMaybe that's what your soul needs right now, too.\nNot another answer.\nNot another strategy.\nNot another thing to fix.\nMaybe you need to remember that you are being held.\n\nToward the end of our prayer, we're reminded of Jesus speaking to the wind and waves:\n“Peace, be still.”\n\nSometimes He calms the storm around us. And sometimes the circumstances are still swirling, but He gives us supernatural peace right there in the middle of them. Either way, the One who commands the wind...","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}
