Making a Way for Prayer: How and Why Single Christian Women Can Elevate Their Prayer Life

For many single Christian women, making a way for prayer is high on their to-do list, but it often gets glanced over and transferred to the next day’s list, only to be ignored again.  

In this episode of the Single Christian Women Speak podcast, Jan explains how and why single Christian women can elevate their prayer life. She explains what prayer is, the distractions we face, and how to overcome each obstacle. Juggling tasks, calendars, and meeting demands often causes prayer to slip to the bottom of our priorities.

Jan explains how she once dismissed prayer on the fact that “God is in control of all things. He has the power and authority to do anything He wants. Nothing is off His radar; He sees everything.” However, she shares how this same understanding took a spin and enticed her to make prayer the most important aspect of her walk with the Lord.

Do you Feel Disconnected from God?

It can be difficult to comprehend how God hears our prayers. Listen to Jan explain how God does hear our prayers, and they are a “sweet aroma” to Him.  

Do you experience a loss for words after a few minutes of praying? Jan gives us ideas on how to approach prayer in a way that plows through the path of hindrances. She emphasizes the importance of praying for practical and spiritual needs, for ourselves, and others in areas of eternal significance.

Prayer—a Privilege and a Weapon.

Jan gets personal as she shares her experience; the listener will hear how prayer is a passionate expression of the heart, a spiritual weapon, an intimate experience, and a privilege given to us by Jesus’ death on the cross.  She explains, “Jesus also died on the cross because God wants to dwell with them through prayer.”

The Peace of Prayer  

Single women have trials and heartaches. Often, these pains are swept under the rug, set aside, and left to fester. At the same time, prayer is overlooked as unimportant. But prayer is where we can “weep over our trials and our heartaches. Cast our anxieties on Him. Lay down our burdens.”  Jan shares how she has experienced the exchange of pain for peace, which happens through prayer.

Be encouraged and discover ways to develop a prayer life, experience intimacy with God, and dwell in relationship with Him.
