It's the weekend and you're tuning in to a daily devotional. Look at you. We're so proud.

We're honestly even proud to be doing this. Happy Saturday. Welcome to the Messy masterpiece

podcast, which had Antoine. We're so thankful that we get to do these with you all. And then again,

a special thank you for tuning on the weekend. Yes, babe. Do you got a good one for us today?

I think this one's pretty good. You ready? What's it titled? Bold prayer. Y'all, y'all, we're

fit. We're fixing to be in bold prayer for y'all. All right. Let's get started. If you have your

Thrive Bible, it is on page 1481. And if you don't, we are in Ephesians 3, specifically Ephesians 312.

it is because I know and want what is best for you. I may not always give you the desires of your

heart, because the desires of my heart for you and my plan are so much bigger and better.

Begin by praying that my will may be done in your life. And anytime you pray, according to my

word, my mighty hand will move in extraordinary ways. So come boldly, knowing that you have the ear

of the king who loves it when you pray. Love your heavenly Father. The reflection says, what a

privilege to know we have access to the throne room of God. We are not on the outside looking in.

We are actually part of God's family. His spirit is alive in us and his power is activated by

our prayers. Don't be afraid to go confidently to your heavenly Father and speak to him about

whatever is on your heart. He cares. The treasure of truth. Don't be shy. Walk boldly into the presence

of God. Maybe I have an idea for this podcast if you are down for it. Do you want to talk about

some tips for prayer for people? Yeah. I really do want to encourage you all in prayer to pray.

My prayer life is not always the best and so I have had to learn different techniques to help me
