Let’s just be honest. Life can really have us “in our feelings” sometimes. Between family, work, countless to-do lists, personal time, and every other thing we can squeeze into a 24 hour day, we can forget the need to be replenished. Encouraged Growth offers you a moment in your day to breathe, be loved on, and focus on God’s best for you. You are a treasure, and your life and journey matters more than you know to God’s great masterpiece. Let us walk together over the next 40 days encouraged in love, fervent in prayer, and declaring the Father’s truth over our lives. It only takes on step to begin…ready?

Prayer is a gift. It is an invitation to sit in the presence and REST of true LOVE. However, even with the beautiful simplicity of this blessing, we struggle at times with understanding how to approach it. We are taught to believe that for it to be effective, it has to sound or be done in a certain way. This, of course, is not true. So, how do we begin? Everyone at some point in their faith walk will have this same question. The Good News is that God Himself has given us an entire book filled with prayers from His heart to our lips.

The purpose of Wilderness Prayers is to encourage you to pray using what God has already provided for us. Each prayer is chock-full of loving Scriptues that are Holy Spirit breathed, and a help in removing the challenges we face in going to the Father in every season. As you pray, let God's good word bring you healing and strength to stay the course, and to fight the good fight another day. Allow these moments to increase your faith and hope in Him. Remember, when you struggle to see God's hand in your situations... trust His heart.
