[FREE PRAYER GUIDE]](https://i0.wp.com/www.journeytoimperfect.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Make-This-a-Year-of-Powerful-Prayer-T.png?resize=850%2C400&ssl=1)
Prayer is our lifeline, an absolute necessity in our daily life, the breath that sustains us whether we realize it or not.
But prayer can be hard. We can’t see it. We can’t touch it. We can’t hold in our hands. Perhaps it’s hard to understand, or we feel discouraged about it. Maybe the busyness of life makes it hard to find the time.
We all have doubts and misunderstandings about things and prayer is no different. To some, it comes naturally. To others of us, it’s been a learning curve, something that’s developed over time, something we’ve had to work at and learn about. Find out more and pick up your FREE PRAYER GUIDE by clicking below.

Are You Looking for the Joy of the Lord?
The joy of the Lord is my strength. Have you ever wondered about this verse? I’ve often thought about it and felt a little bit like I wasn’t doing something right. I’m sorry to say, but when life is hard, I don’t feel happy.
Have you ever been there? Have you ever asked yourself the question, “I wonder what I’m doing wrong?” Me, too.
It’s taken a long time, but in all my wrestling around with trying to find the joy of the Lord, I’ve realized there are quite a few things that hold me back. They are concepts about joy and happiness that I’ve struggled to make sense of. Understanding them (or not) makes a big difference. Take a look at my list of these concepts and see what you think.

Consider This if You Lack Confidence
Do you ever find yourself asking these questions?
Where is my confidence?
What is holding me back?
Why can’t I move forward?
I think these are common questions we might be asking if we find ourselves stuck and unable to take that next big step. Asking these types of questions puts us on the right track. You see, sometimes to move forward we have to stop and uncover the issues inside – the things that are keeping us stuck in a cycle of fear.
The thing is, it’s hard to figure these things out. I don’t know about you, but the hardest person I’ve ever tried to understand is myself! Fortunately, God has shed a little light on the picture so to speak, and I discovered one of my biggest problems is perfectionism. My friend, Terri, who writes for you today, also struggles with perfectionism.
Perfectionism puts the brakes on moving forward, and it instills a lack of confidence. It’s also very sneaky and hard to see! It can hide in many forms and fashions. But it’s time to bring it out into the light!
Join me today as Terri uncovers perfectionism and points us in the right direction so we can find confidence in the right place. Click the purple button below to read more!

How to Find Hope That Will Not Disappoint You
What do you think of when you think of the word hope? A dream, A wish? Me too, until recently. My definition of hope has changed. Yesterday, hope used to mean that something good would happen and my current difficult situation would go away or get resolved. Yesterday, hope was something that I “hoped” would happen and just kept waiting for. It was a wish for better times. This kind of hoping led to disappointment. But today hope means something different. It’s trust – trust in a God who never changes and who does what He says He will do.
