A Prayer for Love That is Not Self-Seeking by Rachael Adams

What happens when you prepare your heart… and no one shows up? In this episode by Rachael Adams, she shares a humbling personal story about leading a prayer gathering that ended with an empty sanctuary and a full heart. Through Matthew 6, we explore what Jesus teaches about authentic prayer—moving from performance to posture, from seeking attention to seeking God Himself.This conversation invites us to examine our motives and rediscover the beauty of praying not to be seen, but to be known by our Father.

Reference: Matthew 6:5

Prayer: Father, thank you for being willing to communicate with me and being available to listen. Forgive me for acting in ways that are self-seeking to gain attention for myself. I don't want to be hypocritical. I want everything I say and do to be heartfelt with a pure motive to honor your name and bring you glory. Let your kingdom come and your will be done in Jesus' name.
