b"Prayer is where self-awareness meets God-awareness. I\\u2019ve come to cherish it as an intimate, deeply grounding practice. But I haven\\u2019t always felt that way. It used to evoke anxiety and activation inside of me as I worked to earn God's favor.\\nThat\\u2019s why I love this conversation with Kayla Craig, author of the new book Every Season Sacred. In this candid conversation, we talk about prayer in a fresh new way that will transform how you practice it. Here\\u2019s what we cover:\\n1. Scientific research into the effectiveness of prayer (3:57)\\n2. What prayer is (11:19)\\n3. How to pray when your emotions are chaotic (38:43)\\n4.
