Podcast Show Notes: S3E11 Featuring Stacey Thacker

by Rachael Adams | Mar 16, 2021 | The Love Offering Podcast Show Notes

Life sometimes brings difficult situations or circumstances that can leave us feeling run-down, drained, worn-out, and threadbare. These are the times we most desperately need prayer, but they can also be the times we simply don’t have the words to form a prayer. That is why Stacey Thacker wrote Threadbare Prayer. Join us as we chat about how the simplest prayers can have great power.

Topics of conversation:

Making prayer a priority
Praying for God’s will, not our will
Believing God cares about the small in the big details
Letting go of thinking there is a right or wrong way to pray
Modeling prayer for our children
Being conversational with God throughout your day

Quotes:

“Simple prayers based on Scripture.”

“Prayer became me crying out the Lord when I was at my worst. God was always there.”

“He’s powerful enough to do it and close enough to care.”

“There’s nothing wrong with borrowing someone else’s prayer to get you started.”

“The best way to prepare for the wilderness is to be in the wilderness. Remember where you’ve been and how God has walked you through.”

“When you are in the wilderness it’s important to be proactive, be in the Word, and pray.”

“One of the lies of the enemy likes to tell me is that I am alone.”

“Prayer can change the world because it changes each of us.”

“Jesus is sitting at God’s right hand and He is interceding for me in prayer.”

“The things that are important to us we do. Make prayer a priority.”

“Prayer is my way to hold on to Jesus. Prayer goes from fire escape situations to more like breathing.”

“He wants your honesty and our availability.”

“He met the woman at the well during her daily chore.”

“He already knows, but we need to talk to Him and tell Him. We have to pour out what is in us in order to make room for what He wants to pour into us.”
