Sometimes prayer can appear to be more complicated than it really is.

But when we throw off our misunderstandings about prayer, we learn that prayer is actually all about putting our trust in God.

Today we are talking about seven biblical principles of prayer and how prayer can help us prove faithful.

Welcome to the Sheeper's Faithful Podcast, episode number 62, truth and encouragement to live gospel-centered lives every day. I'm your host, Lauren Lushak.

Hey, everyone, happy Thanksgiving. This is Lauren, the host of the Sheeper's Faithful podcast. If this is your first time, hey, thanks for joining me. I hope you're having a great holiday season so far. In fact,

I want to tell all of you and remind all of you that my Sheeper's Faithful Christmas favorite list is up.

If you go to Sheeprucefaithful.com slash Christmas, you'll see a variety of things that I love and would

recommend as gifts for people in your family or friends or relatives. So check it out. It's really

fun. And I wanted to highlight two of the businesses on my favorites list today because they both are

offering a great discount. First is Courage and Birch. This is a little shop by Rachel Swanson.

She actually has a podcast called The Same Here Podcast, so you should check her out.

But she's also a creator, and she makes these little precious signs out of birchwood and has a little leather strap that you can hang up. And she can customize them so you could have a little plaque that said Lushag family Christmas with a little tree

on a car because we love cutting down our Christmas trees. Or you can make a welcome sign with your

family's name or maybe you could do this as a gift idea for someone else. Or she has in her shop already

made signs with cute little sayings. They're adorable. Check them out. And plus,

Rachel's so generous for this week. So running from Monday, November 20th through Monday,

November 27th, she's giving a 10% off discount from her orders. So the Etsy shop is on there.

I'll put it on the show notes, but it's also on sheproofs faithful.com slash Christmas, and she's giving 10% off with the code SPF 10. The second shop I want to highlight is

MagSoul. This is a woman who I met at a vintage whites market here in Colorado two years ago,

and she had this sign that said, for the girl who can't wear headbands.

And I looked at her and I was like, that is me. And I think that's every girl. Because every time I

wear one of her headbands, somebody's comments about how cute it is and how much they love it.
