Summary

Snippet From the Show “If you make time for daily prayer, you can practice sitting at the feet of Jesus in your own heart and mind, even during times in life when you are very busy.” This week, we are focusing on unlocking the power of prayer. We all know that we should pray and we should make it a daily priority, but many things can get in the way of that. We have work, kids, and crammed calendars that threaten to pull us away from regular times to pray. Danielle shares thoughts about how to change our approach to prayer and new ideas for ways to make it a daily habit – one that you are made for and will thrive in. Danielle offers ideas to help reshape your prayer routine and cultivate a daily habit that will help grow in relationship with God. At the end of the show, Danielle answers an email from 15-year-old Elizabeth who wonders about whether a Catholic woman can become a fighter pilot. Is this a sticky question? Yes and no!

0:00.0	Girlfriends, episode number 385. How to Unlock the Power of Prayer.
0:06.5	Hello and welcome to Girlfriends. I'm Danielle Bean. I'm a wife and a mom and I'm on a mission to help you know you're worth as a woman so you can find peace, balance, and joy and family living.
0:16.3	This week we are talking about unlocking the power of prayer. Could there be a more important topic than this one?
0:21.8	I don't think so. Let's get started.
0:30.9	Hey, girlfriend. How are you? Thank you so much for being here. You know, I always love to connect
0:35.4	with you right here on the podcast. Before we dive
0:39.3	into this week's topic, which is an important one, I hear from people about prayer and struggles
0:45.2	with prayer and how to make it a habit, how to incorporate it in your everyday life, how to actually
0:49.8	do it as a family, as a couple, as an individual. I hear about it all the time from people. So I know
0:54.5	this is something people struggle with and have questions about. So I thought maybe we could
0:58.2	just do a dive into that topic in a general way. But before I do, I just want to remind you of
1:03.6	our summer series of events that we have going on over at goodcatholic.com. The newest one that's
1:09.7	coming up is going to be September 6th,
1:11.7	and it's going to feature special guest presenters, Father Dwight Longinecker and
1:16.9	Isabel Brown, who are going to be talking about how to find peace and political times.
1:22.1	So we planned this topic very much anticipating what is happening right now, which is the
1:26.7	political discourse in our
1:28.5	world is ramping up. It might be in your own home, your family, your workplace, your community,
1:34.4	your parish, your neighborhood. We're hearing more and more from our television screens,
1:39.6	from our social media, from our mailboxes. It's happening. So we want to address that. We want to know how
1:47.4	we engage in the culture from an authentically Catholic worldview. How do we do that? How do we
1:54.4	handle politics and how do we handle very real political differences and values with our
