Does prayer come easy to you? Or is it hard to know how to talk to God? Lee Nienhuis was a teenager when she began to understand what a relationship with Jesus looked like. Mentored by her youth pastor and his wife, this new understanding inspired her to deepen her relationship with Christ through prayer. Now, as a mom of four, Lee uses Scripture to pray specific prayers over her children. Join Lee as she shares with hosts Eryn Eddy Adkins and Vivian Mabuni how to use Scripture to guide us through praying for all the people, things, and situations in our lives.
