Do you ever read God's promises in Scripture and think, "That sounds amazing, but there's no way that could happen in my situation"? When life gets overwhelming, God's promises can feel like beautiful theory rather than practical reality. We want to believe them, but our circumstances seem to scream louder than His Word.

If you've ever struggled to trust God's promises when they feel impossible, this episode will help you build unshakeable faith through the power of remembrance. Rachel shares how journaling God's faithfulness transforms our ability to trust His promises.

In this episode, you'll discover:

Why our minds need "support structures" to remain steadfast during difficult times
How journaling prayers transforms your ability to believe God's Word
How to move from feeling-based faith to fact-based faith
A personal story of how documenting God's faithfulness during unemployment built trust for much larger needs

Rachel also introduces her new "Praying the Promises of God: A 52-Week Guided Prayer Journal" and shares how a free sampler can help you start building your record of God's faithfulness. Get yours at promisesprayerjournal.com.
