Is there something in your life you've stopped praying about because it feels dead?

In this episode of Untangling Prayer, Rachel Wojo opens Ephesians 2:4-5, Day 32 of Praying through Life's Battles. The passage says God made us alive with Christ even when we were dead. Rachel looks at what it means to pray in the name of Jesus over a marriage, a dream, a friendship, or a faith that has gone cold. She also explains why the power that raised Christ is the same power at work for those who believe. Then she shares how God gave her book One More Step a second chance to reach hurting people through a new video Bible study on RightNow Media.

You'll discover:

What Ephesians 2 teaches about God moving toward us while we're still dead
How to bring a dead situation to Jesus honestly, the way Martha did at Lazarus's tomb
Why praying in the name of Jesus puts what feels dead under His authority
A simple prayer to pray over whatever you've given up on
How God breathed new life into a book written in Rachel's hardest seasons

Whatever feels dead to you today, you can still bring it to Jesus by name.

Until next time, remember: God sees you, He hears you, and He knows your needs.
