Does it feel like you can't breathe, much less pray? If stress is your nemesis and it even interferes with your prayer life, then let Rachel encourage your heart on what to do when you're too stressed to pray. 

Rachel covers three simple ideas you can put into practice when prayer seems just too hard or too much.

  1. Just breathe; God is your oxygen. Job 32:8, Job 33:4, Job 34:14-15
  2. Slow down. "Hurry is the enemy of beauty." Jennifer Dukes Lee
  3. Rest in his arms. Pray: Jesus, hold me.
