Prayer is so simple, but often times our minds convolute and complicate it. Today we’re exploring how to encounter God through prayer, and I pray you take away a simplified, childlike approach to spending time with your heavenly Father. May your heart and mind be at peace today as you encounter the living God.   Our Scripture for today comes from Jeremiah 33:3, and today's worship is House of God Forever by John Foreman.  -- Thanks for listening to today’s First15 Podcast.

Today’s episode contains a guided prayer that aims to help remind us to slow down with Jesus when our bodies and our minds are racing. When it feels like things are going so fast that you’re having a hard time keeping up, our prayer is that this Guided Prayer helps center your heart and mind on the one who holds it all together.     Laura Woodworth is a writer-producer-director, a script consultant for Stage 32 and a development executive for Cooke Media Group in Los Angeles.
