Have you ever prayed about your anxiety — and still felt anxious? You're not alone, and this week's guest gets it from the inside out.

I'm joined by Maddie Joy Fisher, author of Rest and Rely: A 60-Day Devotional to Replace Fear, Anxiety, and Worry with God's Truth. Maddie shares her very personal journey with anxiety — including how it reached a breaking point during the writing of her own book — and how prayer transformed from a rigid practice into an ongoing conversation with God.

In this episode you'll discover:

• Why telling anxious people to "just pray more" can actually backfire — and what to say instead
• How Maddie's breaking point with anxiety became the very thing that deepened her prayer life
• What "pray without ceasing" really looks like when your mind won't slow down
• The difference between knowing Scripture and actually praying it — and how to close that gap
• One practical thing you can implement today if anxiety is making faith feel like one more place to fail

If anxiety has made you feel like you're failing at faith, this conversation is for you.

Until next time, remember — God sees you, He hears you, and He knows your need.
