5 KEY ELEMENTS TO RESTORATIVE PRAYER

1. Take the pressure off of prayer (A point of entry - honesty, vulnerability, authenticity)
2. You do you (unique expression - walk, painting, workout)
3. Just show up ( we have uncertainty tangled around our hearts)
4. Tell God all the things (“I want you to know God I’m mad at you.” “God, I feel lost.” “I don’t know what to do”) when we release those things that are weighty they no longer have room in our heart, God takes resistance. All the things don’t have room in our hearts…
5. Slow it down (go into the word of God for a two-way conversation, pause when you feel the pull).
