E167: Too Distracted to Pray: Developing Prayer Rhythms That Work for You

from After IV Hosted by The InterVarsity Alumni Relations Team

Life's too distracting to have a meaningful prayer time... Do you ever feel this way? You're not alone! Spiritual Director and clinical counselor, Nader Sahyouni, says that distraction is one of the most common barriers people experience in prayer. Whether it's the result of big life choices, frustrations at work, or relentless TikTok notifications, life is just distracting. And the remedy isn't simply getting more focused... It's leaning into God's gracious invitation to experience his love and care for us. Join us this week for an invitation to transition from prayer motivated by task and obligation to a sense of relationship and connection with a loving God (plus a few practical tips to help the distracted pray-er...)
