Episode notes

Do you ever catch yourself wishing away the ordinary, mundane days of parenting — those moments that feel repetitive, exhausting, or spiritually dry? Maybe you carry guilt for not “praying enough,” or wonder when you’ll ever have space for deep spiritual encounters again.

In this week’s episode, Brook and Elizabeth invite you to reimagine what prayer looks like in the midst of diapers, dishes, and daily routines. They explore the idea of praying the ordinary — cultivating an inner posture of attentiveness, availability, and surrender in even the most mundane moments.

Drawing from real-time personal experiences, they share how to incorporate breath prayers into your day, practical ways to invite God into the small things, common obstacles to practicing ordinary prayer — and how to overcome them.

With honesty and hope, Brook and Elizabeth remind us that you are never too ordinary for the presence of God. He delights in showing up in the unnoticed spaces, and there is a heavenly reward for living in righteousness and rejoicing in the ordinary.

Breath Prayers You Can Borrow:

Inhale: “Lord, you’re my strength.” Exhale: “Help me love with patience.”
Inhale: “You know my child.” Exhale: “Better than I do.”
Inhale: “Father, shape my heart…” Exhale: “…to reflect yours”
Inhale: “I surrender control.” Exhale: “I trust your care.”
Inhale: “Come, Holy Spirit.” Exhale: “Guide my parenting today.”
