Hey we're going to visit my friend Becky Edwards today. For the show we're going
to talk about steps in praying now if you have ever been angry or frustrated
that your prayers are not being answered or maybe you feel like there's just this
big wall there there's this curtain where you just can't seem to get past it
you can't seem to get to God and you're not getting your your prayers answered
well maybe what we have to share today will help you maybe if you actually
understood the steps in praying that you can get those answers that you want how
is it we can do some amazing and sometimes unexplainable things like heal
our own bodies by the power of our thought mother's intuition the law of
attraction can we really tap into our subconscious
mind can we really create our own realities it begs the question are we
novice gods
alright hey thank you so much for joining us I'm really excited to share
my next guest with you this is Becky Edwards we connected what last year she
was on a summit that I did and she is an expert in knowing how to get your
prayers answered okay anyway she's fantastic at that and we're going to
talk a little bit about the steps to praying because I don't know for me I
really want to get better at getting answers to prayers feeling guidance and
just before we start we were kind of talking a little bit about how how
guided do you feel in your life and I was feeling like I'm not as guided as I
want to be and I want to improve that and you were saying oh I'm totally
guided all the time not all the time but definitely better than I used to be yeah
so how did you get there you know how that's a great question that's a great
question and you're not alone with feeling frustrated just so you know it's
very common I get a lot of feedback about that and I'd like to share with
your audience a little process that's actually really simple but it's also
really powerful and it has brought a lot of people from feeling like I feel like
my prayers hit the ceiling they don't actually bring answers back from God I
don't know what to do differently I do everything I've been taught what can I
do differently and this little process has broken that barrier for many people
so I invite you to try it and I have a little visual here that I will show you
and it starts with it well I made it into a sandwich in in my faith I believe
that scriptures and prayer is like a feasting opportunity that we get to
feast on this this wonderful feeling of being filled with joy and peace and that
the things that God brings into our hearts as we do this process so the
first little step is to start with a prayer in this process and that is where
we first start with thanking and I have really learned through the years of
experience that thanking opens up a conduit of inspiration from God there is
something so powerful and such a high frequency and a high energy
a very holy feeling about thanking what have you experienced that Scott
yeah no are you talking say I differentiate between thanking and
gratitude like for me gratitude is is the magic key because gratitude what
gratitude is is recognizing you were the recipient of deliberate kindness hmm so
it's recognizing that exchange of love because I know I get into a problem with
thankfulness sometimes because thankfulness to me I often get into
indebtedness you know oh you know I'm less than who I could because I had to
borrow a truck from a friend or something and so I thank him but really
I feel indebted but when I feel gratitude I feel like that love between
you know me and whoever that they have shown me deliberate kindness and when I
feel that love that's when I feel like my vibration goes up does that make
sense yeah then Scott for you I would change this to gratitude okay because
that is the vibration that's the dusty energy were after is is just to
acknowledge God's hand in our lives and as we do that it opens us up to see more
of his hand and to receive more answers so that's the first step is to pray and
think and then ask and what I would suggest is that every day consider
bringing a question to God like whatever your question may be it could be little
like well what's the most important thing I should do today you know what
will make the biggest difference or it could be really big like I kind of feel
like I'm supposed to change careers oh that's scary right Scott is this is this
the right path for me you know it's this is this where you're guiding me it could
be little things that have to do with relationships or finances or health or
you know I I sometimes have asked in fact I'll share an example I asked a few
years ago what can I do to help heal my relationship with a 14 year old son if
you ever had a 14 year old son and the answer I received back was so simple it
was offered to help him clean room isn't that so simple and I thought
well I can do that that's not a problem here's the interesting thing I did that
I offered to help clean his room and he refused he wasn't rude about it but he
said no it's okay mom but here's the cool thing it shifted how
he felt about me and how I felt about him and that's what I really wanted was
for us to have a better connection so so asking and what I suggest is that you
you expressed gratitude to God and then you ask in your prayer as well as in a
journal it can be cheap a little cute you know any inexpensive notebook or
something fancy I personally just last month published to heaven journaling
journal but it doesn't have to be anything fancy
then you open your scriptures anywhere and that can be like I'm going to
pretend this is scriptures and I'm going to say all right my question was let's
just say it was what's the most important thing for me to do today I
could go like random just just you know let it fly open to some page which
sounds kind of crazy and so we've done this and it works yeah it is and and the
sauce the first idea the other idea is just chronological say you're in Matthew
chapter 5 to yesterday open to Matthew chapter 6 God can answer you through his
holy spirit anywhere another one is to be intuitively you know inspirationally
guided where to go so you may you may feel like yeah I cut in fact I'll share
an experience I was on my phone where I have a little scripture out and I felt
going to the New Testament would be the place where my answer would be so then I
I scrolled to through the books and it felt like it was in Matthew okay open up
Matthew and I looked at the numbers of chapters and it felt like his either
five or six hmm which one I couldn't decipher so I just started in five read
a part way into six there was an answer for me now answers don't always come all
in one big puzzle all put together sometimes it's a piece or a few pieces
at a time and as you gather those through writing your puzzle starts to
assemble itself so the next step is to write and I it's pretty simple I just
write where I found an answer maybe Matthews
620 through 25 or something like that you know this little passage and then I
write it in my own words here's kind of what it said you know if you want to
take it to the next level you write about what it meant to you okay like how
did that answer a question for you what is it you know does it remind you of
something how do you feel or think about it and then of quote of course the last
step is to close with gratitude I don't know about you Scott you have teenagers
have you ever made a meal where you put some time and effort into a meal and
then your teenage or your kids in general complain if you ever had that
happen that's not very fun right and I don't know about you or you Scott but I
have sometimes I don't want to cook for that child again so when we are
expressed gratitude I just imagined that that our God is very happy that he wants
to give us more and that's been my experience so I called out a sandwich a
heaven journaling sandwich this starts with prayer gratitude and asking and
then scriptures writing and a prayer of thanks and and I'm not saying it works
for me every single time but almost all the time and it's been a process of
developing that that's helped me be more inspired throughout the day so little
little inspirations will come and I feel like doing this process in the morning
it is ideal but you know any times better than not and it opens a conduit
to receive other inspiration in the day that's really cool can I share one thing
that absolutely right now so I've been doing this becky's pointed me in this
direction and it's been really helpful the last and this is really only the
last few weeks somebody gave me an idea to do for you know because I felt like I
wasn't getting the inspiration that wasn't getting the direction that I
wanted and they gave me an idea to do to keep just a little book with me and
inside whenever I get a prompting I write down the prompting and then right
below it I put like so I put a P and about a circle and then I will write
down what I'm prompted to do and then right after that I will put an a short
for action and I leave that blank until I do something about it
but the interesting thing as you talked about like kind of the
little promptings like to help your son clean his room you know I was feeling
like I'm not getting the promptings and then I find out they're really small
little things we sometimes don't recognize it yeah because I'm waiting
for the big stuff you know I was big stuff to happen in my life so anyway so
hopefully that helps you as you're thinking about what you can do to follow
some steps in praying to get your prayers answered more regularly more
consistently this works right absolutely and I've taught it to thousands of
people both in the United States and in other countries and I've had people say
kind of what Scott has said like I just don't know I don't know if it'll work
for me because I have a hard time just receiving answers I've already
discerning I don't know and they're scared to even try it because they're
scared to be disappointed and so often I've heard back from them saying oh oh
my goodness I can't believe how simple it is and yet how much it works and and
it just brings this connection and this two-way communication with heaven that
is so delicious that brings more power and peace and purpose into your life
from God and who doesn't want more of that I do want to touch on one more
thing before we go the the questions that you asked somebody told me in fact
if you watch back to a previous episode Tyson Thacker we interviewed him he said
the more specific your question or the better your question the better your
answer have you found that and and what what counsel can you give us about the
kinds of questions that you ask yeah absolutely and so some of the people who
have been have been practicing this haven't journaling sandwich that I call
they have said that they'll ask a general question and not really be
receive a lot of guidance and then they'll tweak their question to be more
specific sometimes their question needs to sometimes when when they tweak it
it's something like what do I need to do to be more in line to get the answer you
know is there something I need to clean up in my life to be more of a clear
conduit maybe I need to forgive someone maybe I need to ask forgiveness maybe I
need to stop eating junk food all day long so I can actually you know be a
little more clear-headed and and that that some of those
foundational questions to clean up our ability to be a conduit of answers then
can then lead us to answers but but yeah getting more specific in your questions
and you can even ask for guidance with that like how many do you are
specifically what could I ask for what would you have me ask and that's
powerful well that's super helpful so hopefully that helps you is you're
figuring out how can I follow some steps you know kind of a formula to get more
prayers answered that's a great way to go just real quick how can they get in
touch with you if they have more questions or want to go deeper into this
