Do you feel behind in life while everyone else seems to be succeeding?Are you lying awake at night with anxiety, wondering why you feel heavy, restless, or quietly discouraged—even though you love God?
If this episode encourages you, consider leaving a review, sharing it with someone who needs prayer, or reaching out at 15withjesuspodcast@gmail.com—we’d love to hear how we can pray for you.
This episode of 15 Minutes with Jesus is a guided Christian prayer and Bible meditation for believers struggling with anxiety, depression, comparison, and spiritual restlessness—and longing to find real peace in Christ.
Together, we meditate on Psalm 73, where Asaph honestly brings his envy, confusion, and emotional exhaustion before God. In God’s presence, his striving fades as he discovers a deeper truth: that God Himself is his portion, his strength, and his greatest treasure.
This prayer is for you if you’re:• anxious or emotionally drained• comparing your life to others• successful on the outside but restless inside
Through Scripture, breath prayer, reflection, and guided prayer, this episode invites you to slow down, release striving, and rest in the sufficiency of knowing Christ above all else.

Do you love God, but you’re not seeing real change in your life? You keep praying, but you feel stuck in the same cycles and patterns—and you’re longing for true transformation.
If this episode encourages you, consider leaving a review, sharing it with someone who needs prayer, or reaching out at 15withjesuspodcast@gmail.com—we’d love to hear how we can pray for you.
This episode of 15 Minutes with Jesus is for the Christian who genuinely loves God, desires to obey Him, and wants to grow—but feels frustrated, weary, or discouraged by how little seems to be changing. You’re not walking away from your faith… you’re just tired of feeling stuck.
In this guided Christian prayer and meditation, we sit with Psalm 86, a prayer David cried out during years of waiting, hardship, and inner formation. David wasn’t just asking God to fix his circumstances—he was learning how to trust God, surrender his will, and allow the Lord to shape his character over time.
This episode gently speaks to the deeper questions many believers wrestle with:
• Why do I love God but still feel stuck?• Why does real change feel so slow?• What is God doing in me while I’m waiting?• How do I surrender without becoming passive or hopeless?• Why does God seem more focused on my heart than my comfort?
Rather than offering quick fixes or surface-level encouragement, this prayer creates space to bring your frustration, exhaustion, doubts, and longing honestly before God. 
This episode is especially for you if you’re experiencing:
• feeling spiritually stuck or stagnant• repeating the same emotional or spiritual cycles• discouragement with God’s timing• anxiety, weariness, or quiet burnout• longing for true transformation, not just behavior change• tension between surrendering to God and wanting control

Do you ever feel poor and needy—not just financially, but emotionally, spiritually, or relationally? You love God and trust Him, but you’re tired of waiting, tired of praying, and tired of wondering why the season hasn’t changed yet?
This episode of 15 Minutes with Jesus is for the Christian who is faithful but weary, devoted but discouraged, and learning how to trust God when life doesn’t resolve quickly.
In this guided Christian prayer and meditation, we sit with Psalm 86, a prayer David cried out during years of suffering, uncertainty, and delay. David wasn’t just struggling with lack — he was being formed. 
This episode gently addresses the deeper questions many Christians wrestle with in hard seasons:
• Why does God sometimes delay deliverance?• Why do my prayers feel unanswered?• How do I trust God when I’m exhausted or discouraged?• What is God doing in me while I’m waiting?
Through Scripture reflection, prayer, and meditation, we explore the difference between transactional faith and relational trust — and why God often uses seasons of lack, waiting, and uncertainty to shape our hearts, deepen our dependence on Him, and form us into who we’re becoming.
This episode is especially for you if you’re navigating:
• anxiety or discouragement in a long season• disappointment with God’s timing• spiritual confusion or dryness• depression or emotional heaviness• disillusionment with prosperity-focused Christianity

When money feels tight, it often stirs up fear, self-reliance, overthinking, and the sense that you’re failing or falling behind. But financial stress often reveals something deeper happening in the heart — the invitation to trust God more fully and walk closely with Him in holiness and integrity.

This episode will help you:
• find peace when finances feel stressful or overwhelming• release fear, pressure, and emotional fatigue• walk in holiness and integrity even when life is difficult• trust God with your needs, decisions, and future• rebuild confidence in God’s character and provision• experience the inner stability that comes from surrender and obedience
If you’ve been wrestling with financial anxiety, spiritual confusion, or the pressure to carry everything alone, this time of prayer is for you. Jesus is ready to steady your heart, guide your steps, and remind you that your peace comes not from your income — but from your integrity, your surrender, and His unfailing love.

Are you tired of trying to manage everything on your own? Are you struggling to surrender your plans, desires, or timeline to God? Do you feel anxious, confused, or spiritually stuck — even though you truly love Jesus? This guided Christian prayer and meditation is for you.
If this episode encourages you, consider leaving a review, sharing it with someone who needs prayer, or reaching out at 15withjesuspodcast@gmail.com—we’d love to hear how we can pray for you.
In today’s powerful episode of 15 Minutes with Jesus, we explore the transforming beauty of living a fully surrendered life before God.
Meditating on Psalm 96:7–13, we step into the throne room where the twenty-four elders fall before the Father and the Son — laying down their crowns, their authority, and their glory in worship. Their humility is the key to their honor. Their surrender is their strength.
If you’ve been feeling:• anxious about the future• afraid of making the wrong decision• overwhelmed by pressure or expectations• confused about God’s will• spiritually dry or distant• frustrated by delays or closed doors• tired of trying to control outcomes
…this guided prayer will help you release what you were never meant to carry.
The kingdom of darkness is built on pride, exhaustion, and self-reliance. But the kingdom of God begins with surrender, trust, and humble worship. 
Through breath prayer, Scripture meditation, and Holy Spirit–led devotional reflection, you’ll be guided into a posture of humility, peace, and surrender — the place where clarity returns, fear dissolves, and God’s presence becomes tangible again.
If you feel stuck, exhausted, spiritually restless, or unsure of your direction… this episode will meet you right where you are. The Holy Spirit is ready to speak to you.
