For your family, their health, their marriages, their hard seasons. But when it comes to your own life, your business, your calling, your finances, you're either praying crumbs or not praying at all. Dani was right there with you. Then came a Friday night at the Cheesecake Factory, a $5 bet with her old-school Catholic dad, and a parking spot that opened right on cue, and something cracked open in her. This episode is a faith story, a recovery story, and an invitation to stop settling for scraps. Dani unpacks why so many of us default to "thy will be done" and quietly forget we're allowed to pray specifically and boldly for the desires God already planted in us. She names Psalm 37:4, walks through the three schools of life where God wants to meet you (relationships, finances, health), and lands on a real question: are you actually praying for what you're called to do? Dani is, and she is praying out loud for 20 people to join her Life Coach Certification by year end. If you have been feeling that pull, this episode just might be your answer. In this episode, Dani talks about: The $5 parking spot bet with her dad that brought him to tears and reignited her prayer life Why early recovery taught her "only pray thy will be done" and what that quietly cost her faith later The three schools of life (relationships, finances, health) and how to pray boldly into each one Psalm 37:4: what "delight yourself in the Lord" actually looks like when your faith has gone flat The difference between name-it-claim-it prosperity gospel and praying in alignment with what God already put in you Why Dani stopped praying for her own calling and what she is doing fiercely differently right now Glad you're here, Dani Want to Go Deeper? 💫 Book a free discovery call at aholymess.com (or jump straight to calendly.com/danisumner to grab a spot right now). 1:1 coaching for the deep work.
