Welcome to the Prose of Rest podcast. I'm your host, Ashrita Chuchu, and today we're going to continue our season of praying through hard emotions.

Praying about being annoyed. I don't know about you, but annoyance is one of my go-to hard emotions.

And this is a prayer that I need to pray quite frequently.

But before we get to that, I just want to note that we are halfway through this season

of praying through hard emotions.

And I really want to hear from you.

I'd love to hear which episode really stood out to you

or what interview did you feel like God was reminding you of something that he wants you to know.

Do you have a story to share about prayers of rest or maybe a testimony from one of the prayer groups that has gathered around

the country and around the world. Really, I'm so grateful that I get to do this, that I get

to come alongside and we get to walk into God's presence to pray together. And as we're looking

ahead to our next season in the spring,

I want to make sure that these episodes best serve you. So please take a few moments and drop me an

email. You can email personally at Asherita at One Thingalone.com and you'll find that email address

in the show notes. Or even better,

you can leave me a voice message when you go to prayersofrest.com and click on the microphone

on the side of the page. Friend, I can't wait to hear, even if it's just a sentence or two,

how God has been faithful and good in your life

through this podcast. So thank you for taking time to do that this week. So as we begin,

find a quiet place and take a deep breath as we enter into God's loving presence together.

Our passage today comes from Psalm 139, verse 21.

Lord, don't I hate those who hate you?
