Hello, everyone, and welcome to the Evolved Emily Show. I'm your host, Emily Hayden. And today, I'm going to do something that I haven't done in a very long time. I think I've done it once or twice on the show.

But what I normally do before I start the show is I kind of just take a second for myself.

I take a deep breath and...

And out. I kind of center myself. And then I say a quick prayer prayer and I ask for God to be in this conversation

with me. And, you know, I always just say like, God, be with me in this conversation, help me to be a vessel.

You know, let me, you know, include you in this because I know that if he's in it, then it's really

going to help to create true transformation in people. And that's really what the show is about is, you know,

at the end was just like so life-giving. And so I guess I kind of just want to, I want to extend the

favor, I guess, to you guys, kind of like pass it forward kind of thing where if no one has prayed

for you recently, if it's been a long time, or if you're just in need of prayer today,

hopefully this can give you just a little bit of peace. So I'm going to pray not just for myself,

but for everyone who is actually listening right now, which I'm in my closet alone. So sometimes

it feels like it's just me, but I trust that there are other people listening right now.

So, okay. God, thank you so much that you were a good God. Thank you so

people have gone through just such awakenings and life changes and things, real things like
