We discuss Praying for peace over depression and anxietyPrayer for their future spouseBut this episode goes beyond the prayers I prayed over them. This episode, MG gets vulnerable and shares her recent ADHD and situational anxiety diagnosis, and together we explore what it really looks like to pray when life feels uncertain.
