Before we get into this week's episode, I just wanted to give you a brief scheduling update.

Our next live prayer call is all set for November 12th at 1 p.m. Eastern Time.

It's such a great opportunity to connect in prayer with other women around the world as we'll

approach God's throne of grace together. And if you're lucky,

one of my kids might just make a special appearance. Sometimes they interrupt these prayer calls

and just join us in prayer. I would love to see you there. So access to these monthly live

prayer calls are exclusively for our

prayers of rest, Patreon prayer partners. So if you're not yet signed up, you can head over to

prayersofrest.com and click the Become a Prayer partner button. That way, you'll get access to the bonus

interviews that we have going on this season and behind-the-scene

peaks in the publishing process of my new devotional. And also, you'll be able to join us

this November 12th at our live purple. So I hope I'll see you there.

Welcome to the Prayers of Rest podcast. I'm your host, Ashrida Choochoo, and this season we're praying through hard emotions, getting honest with God about those hard things that none of us want to admit

that we feel, and yet we all do. And when we pray about these hard things that none of us want to admit that we feel, and yet we all do. And when we pray about

these hard things and we bring these hard emotions to God, we've been finding this season that

he gives us in exchange his peace, his joy, his rest, more and more of himself. And then he also transforms us into the image of

his son. It has been an incredible season of prayer so far, and I'm so glad you're here with us

today. So as we begin, find a quiet place and take a deep breath as we enter into God's loving presence

together.

Today's reading comes from Psalm 73, verse 2 and 3.

But as for me, my feet had almost slipped.

I had nearly lost my foothold, for I envied the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
