The Prayer You Have Been Avoiding (YNBS 141)

There is one prayer you have been avoiding. You pray about everything else, and this one subject never makes the list. If you have ever wondered why you can pray freely about nine things and go silent on the tenth, this episode is for you. We look at honest prayer, the subject you keep circling, and a way to bring it to God without having it all resolved first. In this episode: • Why one specific subject can feel off-limits in prayer, even for women with strong, steady faith • What research on secrets reveals about the real weight of the thing you keep to yourself • How David described the cost of staying silent, and the turn that changes everything • A doable way to begin the prayer you have been putting off Scripture: Psalm 32:3-5 Research note: Slepian and colleagues on the experience of secrecy (Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 2017).
