Lead:

What’s the scariest prayer that you can pray?

Intro:

Years ago I was going through a divorce — not my choice, and some awful and untrue things were being said. It was one of the most painful things I have ever experienced. In the midst of that I prayed what I called “the scariest prayer you could ever pray.” In today’s All Our Minds segment I’ll tell you a little more about that. But be warned: I’m going to encourage you to pray it, too. And hey, are you a skeptic? Just checkin’ out this Christianity thing? I’ll share something specific to you, too.

Hey, one other housekeeping item: A couple days ago I published a blog post that does not have an audio track — which means that if you subscribe to the podcast on Apple Podcasts or some other podcatcher. IF you want to receive an email that will always have that stuff, go to forthehope.org and scroll to the bottom of any page. You can unsubscribe at any time, of course, including when you see how ugly the email is. But it works, and I’ll get around to cleaning it up sometime! LOL
