Simply The Prayer Pod
For those who find it difficult to pray, not always finding the words to say... like I, a lot of times still do. But it’s okay. For those just needing to hear and have agreement in prayer, it’s easier to do it together. Or those who just can’t seem to find the time, just listen and pray while you’re commuting or when you have a free moment to spare. The prayers are sometimes raw, sometimes focused on a particular issue or subject. Either way, God still cares and hears us. So, are heavy burdens weighing you down? Feeling sad, angry or lonely? Or testings, troubles and temptations getting you into a conundrum (a complicated problem)? All these can have us feeling hopeless at times, but God will hear you even if you can’t speak the words you want to say. They don’t have to be so eloquent or flow smoothly and effortlessly. The Lord knows what you mean. He understands our heart cries. Even our groans...Romans 8:26-27 says, ”In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.” (NIV) ”And the Father Who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is sayin, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God’s own will.” (NLT) So if you hear me humin’, singin’ or even groaning, don’t think it strange. I’m just praying in the Spirit. Please don’t be afraid or taken aback if you hear a little excitement in my voice, I’m just caught up in the joy, goodness or power of the Holy Spirit. I Hope you’re uplifted and encouraged in some way throughout our times of prayer. Now join me as I join my heart with the Lord’s heart this morning..Let’s Pray! God be with you until we meet again. Grace and Peace God’s Beloved! Scripture References: Rom. 8:26-27, Ps. 69:13, Ps. 102:16-17, Jonah 2:7, Ps. 4:1, Rom. 12:12, Phil. 4:6-7, Mark 11:24, Eph. 6:18, 1 Thess. 5:17

In Honor of Black History Month-A reciting of prayers of African Americans throughout the years.
In times of slavery, after being brought over from the shores of Africa, there was much suffering; spirit, body and mind. Listen to how these prayers relay that, but they also relay hope, perseverance and triumph!
Meditative Scripture: Exodus 9:1

A praying hummingbird? Notice the hummingbird hovering near the feeder on the podcast logo. This was captured one summer as I was in my backyard praying and meditating. I had no idea at the time that I would be doing a podcast, but God did! In this episode, I attempt to correlate the characteristics of a hummingbird and how we should rely on the Holy Spirit, of our living God and the Lord Jesus Christ, to pray for and thru us.
Meditative scripture: 1 John 4:11-16

Simply The Prayer Pod
I am simply a lay person in the church in service to the Lord. I participate in ministries of helps and intercessory prayer according to scripture: 1 Corinthians 12, 1 Timothy 2:1 - 4 and Ephesians 3:14-20. The word of God tells us to pray with and for one another (James 5:16). I believe the Lord led me to do this podcast because many people do not feel adequate enough or are comfortable praying. Those feelings are common even abroad the body of Christ, but I'm gonna pray anyway! Although we are to go to our Elders in the church for prayer when needed, many feel isolated thinking they have no one to turn to. Others have no church home. For those this is a safe place for prayer. I welcome you to join any time. God does not respect one person over another. He is waiting to hear from everybody. He wants to be a part of your life, relating to you as you engage with Him. Spend time with Him and you will soon realize He has been with you all along and He answers prayer. Jesus is the ultimate intercessor between us and the Father. Let's Pray!
