Praying from the Olive Press

There are times—some may call them seasons—when everything feels off. At every turn, new challenges arise. It’s like navigating through rough waters. In moments like these, a decision must be made: to fully awaken and reject anything that causes us to stumble or lose heart. This is the turning point—the moment after intense, wrestling prayer when you rise in confidence, knowing the Lord has heard your cry. It’s here that we must act: casting away every thought and weight that pulls us from God’s presence. It’s time to stand, knowing we are not alone.
