My Key Takeaways:
1) Prayer is a communication tool. All too often we treat prayer as a request form or a help hotline. Whenever we encounter difficulties or troubles that we cannot solve on our own, that’s when we go to prayer. Of course, bringing our troubles to God is a portion of prayer, but it is not the main purpose. Prayer is one of the ways that we build a relationship with our Creator.
2) God speaks to us in several ways. Have you longed to hear God speak but don’t know where His voice comes from? Rachel shares in this episode the three ways that God speaks to us and those are through His Word (the Bible), through other people, and through His Spirit. In order to hear God speak, we need to be reading the Bible and praying regularly to discern His voice.
3) Our circumstances may not change. Scripture is full of stories of faithful people whose circumstances either didn’t change right away or never changed. The same may be true of your situation. God may not solve it right away, but He is always with us through all of life’s ups and downs.
