How do you feel about your prayer life?
If you’re anything like me, you struggle to pray daily. Or rather, even if you pray daily, you feel like your prayers lack focus and intention.

Today’s post is for you. In fact, I bring you more than just a single blog post–today begins a series to encourage women to pray daily.
Each post will focus on an overall theme or topic, like gratitude, or poverty, or your spouse, or something else. 31 prompts will guide you through a month of praying daily.
To kick off this series, let’s celebrate the global community of Christian women!
Let’s join together in 31 Days of Prayer for Women.
Even if you’ve found a good rhythm in your daily prayers, I encourage you to join the rest of us in 31 Days of Prayer for Women. I hope these prompts will inspire your daily prayer routine.
