When You’re in the Wilderness, Pray This
What do you pray when life feels dry, dark, exhausting, and uncertain?
In this special Fifth Wednesday episode of the Still Coloring Podcast, Toni invites you to slow down, breathe, and receive a prayer inspired by Psalm 63.
David wrote this psalm from the wilderness of Judah—a parched and weary place where there seemed to be no water. Yet even there, he continued searching for God, praising Him, and trusting that God’s strong hand was holding him securely.
Maybe you are walking through your own wilderness right now: heartbreak, grief, financial pressure, anxiety, sickness, addiction, insecurity, temptation, or a pain you cannot quite name.
This episode is your reminder that you are not too broken for God to hear you. Your past has not disqualified your prayers, and someone else’s prayers do not reach God faster than yours. Every person who has said yes to Jesus has access to the same loving and holy God.
Toni prays for hope when everything feels dark, strength to resist temptation, freedom from sin, rest for sleepless nights, and the ability to remember that God is still good—even when saying it feels difficult.
Come as you are. Take a deep breath. Bring God whatever you have.
You can expect:
A reminder that God hears your prayers
A guided moment to acknowledge your grief
A reading and reflection from Psalm 63
Prayer for wilderness seasons, temptation, and exhaustion
Encouragement to hold onto hope in dark circumstances
A reminder that God’s beauty and glory never disappear
You do not have to pretend that the wilderness is easy. But you can trust that you are not walking through it alone.
