Michaelann Martin shares a practical, encouraging roadmap for building a real prayer life when you feel too busy, scattered, or inconsistent. Drawing from her own conversion and family life, she breaks prayer down into doable habits—starting with “first things first,” a simple rule of life, and a repeatable morning routine—so your day stays connected to Jesus instead of getting swallowed by urgency. The heart of the talk: prayer isn’t for people with “extra time”; it’s how ordinary people stay rooted, ordered, and fruitful.
