One of the most frequently asked questions we get from listeners is some version of this: If God already knows what he's going to do, why pray? So of course, we had to turn it into a Coffee Break episode! We don't pretend to have all the answers, but if you've ever had similar questions about this topic, we think you'll want to listen in on this week's conversation (and really hope it's an encouragement to you!).

In a follow-up to last week's episode (Prayer and Decision Making), we take some time to unpack some specific questions about the role of prayer in making decisions. Tune in for a deep dive into some great questions!

Here's a list of some of the pre-emptive prayers Alana mentions in the episode that can help us cover ourselves, our loved ones, and our plans in prayer on a regular basis:
Show me clearly if I'm about to veer off your plans.
Reveal things I need to be praying for my loved ones.
Let me not cause harm to anyone.
Show me how to pray.
Help me to live a surrendered life.
Sanctify my intuition.

Do you ever feel like you're too ordinary for God to use you in big ways? If so, you're not alone and you need to stick around to listen to our conversation with Amber Albee Swenson. We talk about some of the hurdles that stand between a woman and finding and fulfilling the purposes God is calling her to. Amber explains how God can (and has!) used past mistakes, failures, and even sin to launch people forward to bear fruit for his kingdom. We talk about the role of spiritual warfare in preventing women from living out God's purposes for us, and she gives some practical first steps to take if you want to discover and walk in God's plans for your own life.

This week's guest on the podcast is Kristen Clark from Girl Defined. Kristen and her sister Bethany (who joined us on the podcast last year in Episode 167) have authored several books including the one we talk with Kristen about today, Not Part of the Plan: Trusting God with the twists and turns of your story.
During our conversation, Kristen shares about her struggle with infertility and the process of praying through endless disappointments. She talks about the importance of community, and how God actually used her unanswered prayers for a biological baby to launch her and her husband forward into the journey of adopting brothers from Ukraine.
Since recording this episode, the situation in Ukraine has drastically changed. Join us at beginning of this episode for a prayer for Ukraine, and specifically for Kristen's sister Ellissa and husband Andriy who have been ministering in Ukraine and are expecting the birth of their baby girl any day now.
You can connect with Kristen and Bethany at GirlDefined.com, and receive their 30 Day journal of the names and attributes of God at GirlDefined.com/God.
