Prayers of REST

What if there was a simple tool that could transform your prayer life? In this episode, Asheritah and her friend Jani Ortlund talk about a simple notebook format that took what Jani calls “a scattered prayer life” and turned it into a powerful conversation with Jesus. They also talk about how to handle times of spiritual dryness, why Jani believes “PUSHY” prayers are Scriptural prayers, and how her mother-in-law’s candor invited Jani into a deeper relationship with Jesus. Jani Ortlund, the Vice President of Renewal Ministries, loves connecting women with the Word of God. Serving Christ through writing, speaking and discipling is her chief passion in life. Jani, who podcasts at herestoresmysoul.org, and Ray, the President of Renewal Ministries, have four married children and fifteen grandchildren. Val Marie Paper | Prayer Journal Support the Show.
