    Aug 12 2025
    A Prayer for Waiting: Immersive Prayer Series: Daily Bible Study, Daily Devotional This episode continues our contemplative prayer series by exploring what it means to trust Jesus before the outcome is visible. Using the story of Mary, the mother of Jesus, Rachael guides you into a sacred space of reflection, obedience, and surrender. In seasons of waiting and uncertainty, we are reminded that Jesus honors faith—even when it feels quiet, small, or unseen. If you’ve been waiting on a miracle, this episode invites you to lean in and listen. Summary Points: What does it mean to trust God before the miracle? Mary’s obedience shows us how to respond to Jesus without needing full clarity. Why is faith important in waiting? Faith isn’t just about outcomes—it’s about who we believe God is in the process. How do we obey when we don’t understand? This session walks through small steps of faith that lead to deeper trust. What’s unique about this prayer? It creates room to reflect on your own journey of surrender, anchored in Scripture. What will I leave with? Peace in the waiting, renewed trust in God, and a deeper awareness of Jesus’ presence. Soundbites: “Whatever He tells you, do it.” “Obedience isn’t always loud—it’s often quiet and faithful.” “You may not see the miracle yet, but Jesus is present.” “Faith lives in the waiting.” “Jesus honors your faith—even before the outcome.” Episode Chapters: 00:00 – Trusting Jesus Before the Outcome 03:01 – The Power of Faith in Waiting 05:59 – Mary’s Example of Belief 09:03 – Obedience Before the Miracle 11:58 – Surrendering in the Waiting 13:53 – Closing Reflections and Prayer This audio devotional is a companion to the She Hears Bible Study, Grab Your Printed Copy Here!
