Summary
As we consider the death and resurrection of Jesus this weekend, we can’t help but be reminded of God’s great love for us—even to the point of death so that we might have eternal life.
Easter will look different in so many ways this year, but we can be especially grateful that Jesus is on his throne and there’s absolutely nothing in the world that can change the significance of an empty tomb and risen Savior.
As we continue to pray for the impact of COVID-19, I’m so thankful that we serve an approachable God who hears our needs and meets us right in the middle of the small and big things of life (like a pandemic).
Sheila Walsh, bestselling author and Bible teacher, joins us today on Pardon the Mess with a much-needed reminder that God is always listening and waiting for us. Sheila offers practical tips for praying when we don’t know what to say. She shares honest stories that remind us that God is not looking for perfect words or perfect people, just open hearts.
Sheila walks us through some of the common struggles in our prayer lives and gives great advice on what to pray when we have no words.
The prayer of a righteous man (and woman) is effective. In these hard days, let’s cling to this promise and be found faithful in praying for those around us. Sheila Walsh will encourage you as you do just that.

| 0:49.1 | to do it. And the days seem long right now for sure. But we will look back on this time and hopefully have |
| 0:55.9 | a sense of knowing that God's hand was on our families and just how we grew in him. And so |
| 1:01.2 | that's been my prayer for my family. And don't be deceived. There are plenty of moments that are |
| 1:05.8 | far from spiritual and godly around here for sure. But I know the Lord goes before us. |
| 1:12.2 | And so I'm just trusting that and trusting his will be done and praying really, really hard over y'all in our family and the country. |
