After the unprecedented events of the past two years, fear and anxiety seem to be at an all-time high. Things are changing rapidly and finding balance in our new normal is still in flux. Fear can be all-consuming. In light of this, in this episode, Cynthia opens up about the daily practice she uses to overcome anxiety: prayer. Tuning in you’ll hear about the value of knowing God’s word, how the best way to pray is to use God’s word in prayer, and an example of how you can do this. While people usually use prayer to beg and plead with God, Cynthia explains why this is not productive and how to not let your emotions overcome you.  She also explains the roles of praise and thanksgiving in prayer, before challenging us to try her prayer strategy for two weeks.
