Summary

How do you pray God's will—without trying to control the outcome? In this episode, we break down what Scripture actually teaches about the will of God and how to pray in alignment with His truth and character. Learn the difference between bold, biblical prayer and self-centered or "manifesting" language, and discover how God's will is revealed through His Word—not guesswork. If you're a woman seeking clarity, confidence, and depth in your prayer life, this teaching will help you pray with boldness, humility, and trust. In this episode, we examine: ✓ What is the will of God? (Romans 12:2, 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, Micah 6:8) ✓ How to discern God's will through a renewed mind ✓ The difference between praying boldly and praying selfishly ✓ Why God doesn't always give us a "blueprint" for decisions ✓ How to pray freely without fear of getting it "wrong" ✓ Biblical prayer vs. manifestation theology 📚 RESOURCES MENTIONED: - Every Woman A Theologian website: phyliciamasonheimer.com - Verse-by-verse Bible studies: Amos & Micah, 1-3 John, Galatians, Revelation, Leviticus - Books: Every Woman a Theologian, Every Home a Foundation, Stop Calling Me Beautiful - Multi-sensory Bible Studies & Kids' Resources 📧 QUESTIONS?

0:00.0	We're treating God like a genie. And again, we're back to the checklist. We're back to
0:05.4	impersonal prayer. If prayer feels dry to you, my guess is there's something going on
0:12.4	theologically that is keeping you from intimacy with God.
0:19.7	Welcome back to Verity Podcast friends. I'm Felicia Masonheimer, your host, and we are in episode
0:25.5	three of our prayer series. I have been so encouraged by how much you have enjoyed the last two
0:32.9	episodes of this series where we talked about praying to the saints and deliverance prayer.
0:37.8	And now we're going to talk about something that I know so many of you want to hear about.
0:43.7	And that is how do we pray God's will?
0:47.1	I have been in so many different church settings and Bible studies where this has come up,
0:51.8	where we're asking the question, how do I pray boldly and
0:56.8	specifically, passionately, how do I pray in the power of the spirit, but also pray the will of
1:03.5	God? And for some people, it actually causes a kind of like spiritual paralysis that keeps us
1:09.7	from freely praying and praying, like I said before, boldly
1:14.4	because we fear that we're not praying God's will. So we're going to look at what
1:19.2	scripture says about the will of God, and then we're going to talk about what it looks like
1:23.6	to pray God's will and what it looks like to not pray God's will. So I hope this episode is
1:29.9	helpful to you in your own walk with the Lord as you are seeking after him, as you are seeking
1:36.1	to pray in accordance with his spirit. As usual, we would love it if you subscribe to our
1:43.1	YouTube channel, if you subscribe to our
1:45.5	podcast in iTunes. Verity Podcast is the podcast for my ministry, every woman, a theologian.
1:54.4	And this is just one branch of what we do. We love to create verse by verse Bible studies,
1:58.7	multisensory Bible studies, and books and resources for
