#370: Can I Develop a Prayer Habit? With Jennifer Tucker
Have you ever noticed that even when your body is still, your mind is still racing? Worry, distractions, and endless to-do lists often crowd out the quiet we long for—and can make prayer feel impossible. But what if there was a way to experience both peace in your mind and presence in prayer? In this episode, author Jennifer Tucker invites us into the practice of meditation—Christian meditation where you focus on God's Word, become attentive to His presence, and renew your mind by filling your thoughts with His truth. Not only does Jennifer share the physical, mental, and spiritual benefits of meditation, but she'll also set you up with a simple, practical framework to get started. Plus, she'll help you recognize how to know if you're truly hearing from God as you listen for His voice through prayer. My friend, if you've ever struggled to still your mind—or if prayer feels more like a duty than a delight—this conversation will encourage and equip you. You'll come away with the first steps to cultivate a more purposeful, peaceful prayer life, and with it, deeper intimacy with God.
