Episode 20: Praying is HARD

Persistence in Prayer with Kylie Hein

Do you ever feel like prayer is just really, really hard? Hard to commit to every day, hard to find time for, and sometimes, just hard to get started? On top of all of that, you find yourself distracted, disconnected, or, dare I even say it... bored!
I went on a recent quest to find out why it is that people don't pray. Okay, I Googled it, BUT, I found out that many of the reasons others had listed, were excuses I had used in my own life as well. The truth is, the prayer itself is easy when we allow God to do the work and we show up in a state ready to receive him. The hard part is actually preparing ourselves for prayer, and convincing our minds that it really is worth all of the effort!
In this episode I leave you with a few sticky beliefs that might be keeping you from making that extra effort to spend time with God every day, and some reminders of truth that will help you to get back to it when prayer feels really hard.
If you feel stuck in your prayer life and just can't seem to hear God in the midst of your chaos, I want to invite you sign-up for a free discovery call to see if my 12 week Plan of Life program is a good fit for you.
If you are tired of waiting ...

My dear friend, you don’t have to be overwhelmed. You don’t have to be exhausted all of the time. You don’t have to navigate hardships alone. You don’t even have to have a schedule that is so overwhelming you feel like you can’t breathe sometimes.

I get it. You’re used to doing things alone. In fact, you’re really good at getting things done. Lots of things for that matter! Sometimes, you even thrive on that.

Yet, God doesn’t call us to journey alone. We need others to help us along the way. If you’re tired of trying to figure out the next first step, I invite you to prayerfully consider my 12 week, 1:1 Plan of Life Program.

A Plan of Life is a blueprint for how you are going to commit to showing up each day, with Christ at the center. But, it’ so much more than that. With a coach to help you, it is a habit builder that will help you grow in holiness, develop a greater intimacy with God, and create a life of meaning and purpose where you are able to show up as the you God created you to be.

My 12 week program is uniquely designed around the goals and desires of each individual. In this program, you will learn to utilize your natural contributions, tendencies, and state in life to your advantage. You will grow in courage to go where God is leading you. You will leave with skills to manage your mind, and have a greater understanding of how you are being asked to grow in virtue in this very season.
