The PRESS Movement Prayer Podcast

Help Me Respond Right!

Taquoya Porter Season 2 Episode 35

In this episode, Sister Mary Sanford explores the Book of Lamentations, using Jeremiah’s grief-filled prayer to teach about the power and posture of true prayer. Amid national devastation and personal sorrow, Jeremiah models how to pray honestly and humbly—acknowledging God’s righteousness, taking responsibility for sin, and expressing deep emotional pain. This lament becomes a powerful form of prayer, showing that brokenness invites God’s attention. Sister Mary emphasizes that judgment isn't destruction but a divine reset, leading us back to God. Real prayer starts by accepting God’s ways, repenting sincerely, and believing that even in pain, God is just—and He will vindicate His people. The power of prayer lies not in instant answers, but in our willingness to engage with God authentically, even through suffering. Prayer, especially in distress, is the path to restoration and a renewed relationship with God.
