Prepare your heart to celebrate Jesus' birth with me this advent!If you've been listening to the Prayers of REST podcast for a while now, you might remember that back in 2020 we spent the advent season praying through the names of Jesus. It was an incredible time of unwrapping the beauty of Jesus' many names as we prepared our hearts to celebrate His birth!Since we just released Unwrapping the Names of Jesus for Kids, I thought it would be fun to re-air some of those advent episodes so we can meditate on the names of Jesus together.

Have you ever thought of using your nose in prayer? When God gave Moses instructions for building the tabernacle, He included a custom blend of spices to be diffused in God’s courts every day. Just think: every time worshipers came to pray, they smelled this distinct fragrance that would always make them think of God. Recent scientific research reveals that our sense of smell is closely linked with memory! Just like whipping up a batch of grandma’s cookies brings her face to mind, so connecting a specific smell with our prayer time will also remind us of God’s faithfulness. So try lighting a scented candle or diffusing an essential oil while your pray. You might just be surprised how you come to treasure the smell of God’s presence in your life.Thanks for listening! If you try this creative prayer idea, I’d love to hear about it!

If your prayer life feels like it's stuck in a rut, here's a creative prayer idea that I found in Jennifer Duke Lee's new book and Bible Study: Growing Slow. The 3 R's are Remember, Reflect, and Return. It's like a modern take on the ancient practice of the Examen, but with a focus on Scripture.I’m hoping that this mini-season will help Refresh Your Prayer Life as we head into a new school year.
