You still pray. You still read your Bible. You still love God.\nBut maybe prayer has started to feel more like routine than anticipation.\nMaybe you’ve prayed the same prayers for so long that you’ve quietly stopped expecting an answer.\nMaybe life has worn you down, and instead of walking with the Holy Spirit, you’ve slipped into simply trying to keep everything going in your own strength.\n\nWe understand.\n\nThis week on Made to Pray, we’re talking—and mostly praying—about moving from weariness back to expectancy.\nIn Ephesians 3, Paul prays that believers would be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man. And maybe that kind of strengthening doesn’t always look like becoming tougher, braver, or more capable.\n\nMaybe sometimes it looks like unclenching our fists.\nLeaning back.\nTrusting God again.\nRemembering that we were never meant to fight every current in our own strength.\n\nLori shares a beautiful story about her grandmother praying through her family name by name—and the legacy of prayer one generation can leave for the generations that follow.\n\nWe talk about what happens when disappointment, waiting, self-reliance, and the ordinary routines of life slowly turn down our spiritual expectancy.\n\nAnd we come back to a simple invitation:\nDo it again.\nYou prayed before? Pray again.\nYou hoped before? Hope again.\nYou tried before? Move again.\nYou haven’t heard God lately? Ask again.\n\nBecause the answer to weariness isn’t necessarily trying harder.\nIt’s allowing the Holy Spirit to strengthen us again.\n\nIn this episode, we pray for God to:\n• break off weariness and replace it with anticipation\n• strengthen us by His Spirit\n• reawaken our hunger for His presence and His Word\n• teach us to recognize and respond to the Holy Spirit\n• stir up prayer for our families, communities, and the people He puts on our hearts\n• renew our trust when circumstances...","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}
