Summary

As a long time believer, my friend Molly just couldn’t see much value in prayer. With her always on-the-go personality and her full life raising three boys with her husband, taking the time to sit in silence and pray seemed unappealing. Besides, doesn’t God already know what’s going to happen?

But, something shifted in a big way for Molly as she started to learn more about the Holy Spirit and met a friend who prayed with power and conviction and talked about really having a relationship with God.

“I would say that my prayers were very polite and just formal at best and just really few and far between. So I really did just kind of blow the lid off of the box that I had him in regarding prayer and just gave me this fresh perspective of going to him and communing with him… I started to see it as this right and this privilege to pray as God's daughter.”

Since then, Molly has seen God move in powerful ways in her life through the humble act of prayer. She shares just a few of the stories of how God has used her — just a “normal mom” — to minister to others around her, even door-to-door salespersons!

If you are feeling discouraged or need a boost in your prayer life, this is the episode for you! I pray Molly’s story gets you excited about talking with God in a new way.

0:00.0	Hey y'all welcome back to the Don't Mom Alone podcast. I am your host Heather McFadden
0:12.8	and this is the place where I'm going to walk alongside you and I'm going to connect
0:17.2	you with people and resources so you know that you don't mom alone. In this episode
0:24.1	number 303 I've invited my friend Molly Rhodes on the show. I haven't seen prayer
0:30.9	make much of a difference so I just really was not super motivated and I would say that
0:38.4	um just my prayers were very polite and just formal and just really few and far between.
0:45.7	So I really did just kind of blow the lid off of the box that I had him in regarding prayer and just
0:53.5	gave me this fresh perspective of going to him and communicating with him and this privilege to
1:00.4	pray as God's daughter. There's no shame or condemnation there. If rather than looking at it as
1:07.6	it's all about obedience it's really about an invitation to join in what God is doing. To join
1:14.6	and bringing his kingdom come down here on earth as it is in heaven. I mean he tells us to pray
1:21.6	like that so let's let's do it. My hope with this episode is that Molly's testimony would fan the
1:28.7	flame of your faith that you mom wherever you are would be reminded that the God who created the
1:35.5	universe calls you his daughter through the death and the resurrection of his son you have been
1:42.1	brought into the family you have been equipped with God in you through the Holy Spirit to do work
1:50.8	right where you are. Just like Molly's story of her interaction with the AT&T sales lady that
1:55.9	came to her door there are appointments all around you and it is not to feel burdened by but to be
2:02.7	inspired and filled with purpose in a time when it can feel really discouraging because you have not
2:10.0	been given a spirit of fear but a spirit of power that spirit capital S spirit of power love and
2:18.4	self control that you can be the people who bring Christ to those around us who are desperate
2:26.7	for hope. All right let's get right to it here we go. Molly welcome to the Don't Mom Alone podcast.
2:35.2	I'm so happy to be on Heather thank you thank you for having me. Okay friend so you all know
