Episode 02: How to Pray Bold Prayers
Show Notes
Episode 02 | Season 01
Have you ever felt like your prayers were hitting the ceiling? In this episode, Asia explores the transformative power of bold prayers. Drawing from her own experience and the wisdom of Scripture, she breaks down why bold prayers honor God and how you can transform your prayers from a place of doubt and uncertainty to faith and confidence. You’ll also learn the P.R.A.Y. acronym and receive a link to download a practical (and free!) guide to help you structure your conversations with God.
Key Takeaways
Boldness is not Loudness: It’s about the faith to believe God for a promise and stay there until it comes to pass.
Prayer is a Two-Way Street: It is active communication—talking to God and listening for His "great and mighty things" (Jeremiah 33:3).
The Goal of Prayer: It isn’t to change God’s mind, but to align our hearts with His sovereign and perfect will.
Jesus as our Model: If Jesus, being fully divine, relied on prayer for strength and direction, how much more do we need to depend on God daily?
The P.R.A.Y. Framework
Asia introduces a simple yet profound way to pattern your prayer life:
P - Praise: Enter His gates with thanksgiving. Start with who He is, not what you need.
R - Reflect: Confess shortcomings and seek forgiveness to restore your heart's alignment.
A - Affirm: Pray the living Word of God back to Him. Declare His promises over your situation.
Y - Yield: Surrender your plans for His.
