Summary
Do you ever feel like you want to pray … but don’t know what to say?
In today’s episode, Meredith Brock and Kaley Olson sit down with Wendy Blight to talk about a simple but powerful shift: praying God’s Word.
Because when emotions run high — especially in the relationships that matter most — it’s easy to default to reacting, fixing, or striving for change. But what if the most impactful thing you could do is pray differently?
Wendy shares honestly about a hard season with her daughter and how learning to pray Scripture didn’t just change her prayers — it changed her heart, her words, and the atmosphere in her home.
If you’ve ever felt stuck in your prayer life or unsure how to pray for someone you love, this episode will give you a clear place to start.
You’ll learn:
- Why praying Scripture brings clarity when you don’t have the words.
- How to identify the heart issue behind what you’re praying for.
- A simple way to turn Bible verses into personal prayers.
- What it looks like to pray in both everyday moments and hard ones.
- How God uses prayer to shape your heart, not just your circumstances.
