Hey friends, welcome to Girls Night. I'm Stephanie May Wilson and I am so happy that you're here.

Each week I have a girlfriend over and we talk through one of the biggest questions we have about our lives as women.

We're talking about friendships and faith and relationships and self-confidence.

About our calling in life and how to live every bit of our lives to the absolute full.

Life is so much better and easier and absolutely more fun knowing navigated together as girlfriends and I cannot wait to get started.

Now before I tell you guys anything else, I have to say this might be my favorite episode of the podcast we have ever done.

The wisdom you're about to hear is absolutely life-changing. Ever since we recorded this episode I've been dying to share it with you and I am so glad I finally can.

But let's back up a little bit.

Today we're talking about prayer.

Now can we be honest for a second? Prayer is hard. It's confusing, we're never sure if we're doing it right.

For some of us it might come a bit more naturally but for others of us, no way.

It feels totally awkward and don't anyone dare ask us to pray out loud in public.

If you're anything like me you might also find yourself asking big questions about prayer.

I find myself asking those questions more than ever in moments when I've been praying about something for a really long time and it feels like nothing's changing.

If I'm myself asking, does God even hear me? Is he listening? Is all this praying making any difference at all and on particularly hard days?

Does God even care?

Friends, if you've ever asked any of these questions or prayer ever feels like a struggle for you.

Or if you're like me and this is an area where you'd love to really grow, I am so excited to introduce you to this week's guest.

Our guest this week is Crystal Evans Hurst. Crystal is a mom, a writer, a speaker and an encourager who teaches people to love God, to love others and to love themselves.

She has a new book out called The 28 Day Prayer Journey and I am telling you what the wisdom she is about to share in this episode is game-changing.

I cannot wait to share this conversation with you.

But before we dive in, while we're on the topic of prayer, have you heard about my new prayer journal? I just wanted to make sure you had.
