0:22.3	Welcome to Susie Larson Live.
0:24.4	Always so honored to get to spend this time with you.
0:26.5	In fact, I look forward to bringing you conversations every single day that hopefully
0:30.5	inspire you in your faith walk, that deepen your understanding of God's Word and that
0:34.5	heightened your awareness of his very real presence in your life.
0:37.9	Well, I've got a few questions for you. How would life change for you if you learned how to
0:41.7	stop some of the painful patterns that sort of keep recurring in your life? And what if,
0:46.4	what if you learn to establish healthier boundaries, not in a selfish way, but in a way that actually

1:34.9	877-933-23-2484. And we love to know if we can pray for you. We've got a prayer tab on our website.
1:45.4	In fact, other people, we have prayer missionaries who visit that prayer spot on our website.
1:49.9	You'll be posted anonymously, but there are people who just go on that page and they cover each of
1:54.6	their prayer requests, and you'll receive a notification that you've been prayed for.
1:58.3	So you just need to know, you're not alone, and we love to stand with you.
