Learn how to cultivate a deep prayer life and pray effectively, including incorporating prayer in your daily rhythms in Grace In Real Life Ep 151 w/Asheritah Ciuciu.
I’ve been talking to God since I was little. My prayer life started with those basic prayers of mimicking what my parents spoke and saying grace before meals.
I’m pretty sure I went radio silent in high school and college. I told myself God was too busy when I was not even considering talking to Him.
Becoming a mother grounded my prayer life, making it a lifeline and the only way I could come up for air. When I held a newborn and entertained an 18-month-old, my prayers were one word: Help.
Now, I write out my prayers because of all the shiny squirrels in my head. My mind goes rogue if my hands don’t remind it why we’re here.
Prayer seems like the simplest of practices: talking to God and hearing His voice back. And yet… it’s a lot more difficult, isn’t it?
Because growing your faith through prayer is a skill that takes practice and creativity, and sometimes grit, I invited Asheritah Ciuciu to the show.

Asheritah is a bestselling author, national speaker, and missional entrepreneur. She’s also a wife and mom, daughter, sister, and friend. And a recovering perfectionist.
Growing up in church, she thought spending time with Jesus meant an hour alone each day to study and pray—and this formulaic approach got harder to maintain the fuller her life became. But she’s learned that Jesus welcomes us to come to Him with our messy bun, sticky hands, crumby floors, and all.
Her greatest mission is to help busy women like us find joy in Jesus—right where we are.
