Acknowledge Him: The Prayer that Straightens Your Path
Do you ever feel like you're making decisions in the dark, just hoping you're on the right path? Maybe you prayed about a big choice, but now you're navigating hundreds of smaller moments wondering if you're still headed in the right direction. Most of us treat prayer like a GPS we consult at major intersections. But Proverbs 3:6 says to acknowledge Him "in ALL your ways"—not just the big ones. What if the key to clear guidance isn't praying more about the big decisions, but bringing God into every ordinary moment throughout your day? In this episode, you'll discover: Why we struggle with uncertainty even after praying about major decisions What Nehemiah's "arrow prayers" teach us about acknowledging God in real-time The WAYS acronym: a simple framework to help you practice God's presence all day long Three practical steps to create "prayer triggers" in your daily routine How acknowledging God in mundane moments prepares your heart for what really matters Rachel also shares a personal answered prayer story about how praying in the margins of an ordinary day led to an extraordinary moment of God's faithfulness. You'll hear how acknowledging God during the "behind-the-scenes" work of ministry resulted in the perfect words of affirmation being spoken at exactly the right time. Proverbs 3:5-6 (ESV): "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths."
