Welcome back to the prayers of rest podcast. I'm your host, Asherita Choochoo. And today we are wrapping up season 11 of prayers of rest praying like Jesus. And this, I feel like I'm guilty of saying this about every single season here,

but this is absolutely one of my favorites. It's close to my heart as well, just this theme of

fixing our eyes on Jesus and modeling our prayer life after his prayer life and what we can learn from

him about prayer and also being encouraged that his ministry of prayer is not over.

He continues praying for us, continues interceding for us.

And so to wrap up this season of praying like Jesus,

I invited my friend Janie Ortland to come on the podcast

and share with us what she has learned over her many, many decades of prayer.

She shares about how her mother-in-law lovingly confronted slash

encouraged her to go deeper in her prayer life and why that was not off-putting or offensive,

but rather an invitation that Janie really wanted to receive. She talks about how her mother-in-law made her relationship

with Jesus enticing, as well as what she's learned over the years about removing the burden

of guilt when you tell someone, hey, I'll pray for you. And then it's so easy to forget, to forget to pray.

So Janie shares how she sets up a prayer notebook that she has used for many decades, I think,

probably close to 50 years if I've tracked the years correctly in our conversation.

But you can listen in and let me know if I have tracked the years correctly in our conversation. But you can listen

in and let me know if I have that wrong. I also loved how she talks about pushy prayers and

what that means to her and how that is her desire for the next generation of prayer warriors

that are rising up, including those here on the Purpose of Rest podcast,

that her heart for us would be that we would learn, well, I'm getting head of myself.

I'll let you listen in and hear what her heart is for listeners of the Prays of Rest podcast,

as well as this generation of prayer warriors.
