039: 3 Shifts That Happen When Prayer Becomes Intentional

Show Notes

What’s the difference between praying throughout your day and sitting down for intentional, focused prayer — and why does it matter?

In this episode, Lauren shares how intentional prayer can connect you to God in a deeper way.

You’ll hear why “praying on the go” isn’t the same as making prayer a priority, and the three internal shifts that begin to happen when prayer becomes intentional. If you’ve been craving more consistency, depth, and clarity in your prayer life — especially as you head into a new year — this episode is for you.

Key Points:
🔑 Why intentional prayer builds a deeper, more relational connection with God
🔑 How dedicated prayer time shapes humility, honor, and surrender
🔑 The difference between multitasking prayer and focused prayer
🔑 Why sitting still and journaling creates space to hear from God more clearly
🔑 How consistency in prayer changes how you show up spiritually — not just how often
🔑 Why good intentions alone don’t create lasting prayer habits

Bible Verses:
📖 “Pray continually.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:17
