CAST YOUR CARES | PRAYER EXERCISE

By engaging in honest, vulnerable prayer, we open our hearts to God’s presence and power. Joshua’s journey (see, Book of Joshua) shows us that emotional connection with God is key to enduring hardship and staying faithful to what He has called us to do. Let’s commit to leaving nothing undone, emotionally connecting with God each day as we journey toward all that He has called us to.

This page will guide you in opening your heart to God—sharing what’s happening in your life, expressing your true emotions, and deepening your trust in His promises.
