Hi, friend. I'm so grateful you've joined me on the Jesus Over Everything show. If you haven't heard the news, we have gone retro this summer. For the months of June and July, we are featuring our five word prayers daily. The show, this show started as, and so many of you love so much, five-minute podcast shows on topics of all kinds, the short inspiration you need for every day of the

week. So enjoy these shows, keep listening all summer, and see you right here back in August for

a powerful season six.

Hi, and welcome to the Five Word Prayers Daily, a five-day-a-week daily devotional where we share

worked on breaking that down with the help of Jesus, or maybe you haven't, and that wall still

exists today. I know in my life, I've had walls up at times in all of these categories

towards specific people or in circumcertainstances, and in either case, it's taken Jesus to break those walls down.

Some I'm still working on, to be honest. Because we're human and we get defensive. We protect ourselves
