Probably the most important relationship in our life is our relationship with God, and we are building that through prayer. Prayer is real — it’s for everyone, but we know that prayer is not always easy. Sometimes it can even be really hard.
Growing in relationship with God is a journey, there are ups and downs along with some twists and turns. There are good days when you just feel really close to God — days when you feel that you can hear the voice of God and there’s so much joy, peace and consolation that goes into that. But in some days, there may be a lot of struggles where we feel far away from God.
This episode talks about what happens when prayer is hard and how we go about it. It also serves as an encouragement to be more aware of what’s happening in our hearts when we pray.

SEEK 2024
What do you do when God comes to you in mystery? We can find medicine if we search for God in the mysteries of suffering, the ordinary, and the hidden sacraments. God uses these mysteries to communicate medicines for our transformation, our holiness, and the things we most deeply need to grow, change, heal, and become the children of God he made us to be.
