Send us Fan MailIf you’ve ever felt like your prayer life depends on “doing it right,” or you've found yourself trying to "volunteer your way into heaven", this conversation is for you. In this episode of Persistence in Prayer, Allison Gingras, author and Director of Digital Evangelization for Holy Cross Family Ministries, talks about the subtle pressure to perform for God—checking all the boxes, saying all the prayers, and still wondering why life feels heavy.  Together, we unpack the difference between striving and surrender, and what it really means to trust God in both peace and anxiety. ✨ You’ll hear: Why prayer isn’t a checklist The lie that everything depends on your prayers and faithfulness How to hold tension between asking for healing and accepting the cross Practical ways to build a real relationship with God (even in busy seasons) This conversation is a gentle invitation to stop performing and start being with Him. 🎧 Listen now and be reminded: you don’t have to carry your prayer life. God wants to carry you through your prayer. Links Mentioned:  Learn More about Allison and her work: reconciledtoyou.comSupport the PodcastIf this episode has blessed you, would you consider supporting the show?
