Jodie Berndt explores what it means to “abide in Christ” from John 15. She admits she struggled with abiding because it seems too passive, and she was easily distracted by her daily cares as a mom. But the Bible promises that if we abide in Jesus, our prayers will be more effective. Jodie discusses the importance of praying for your marriage, your children, for forgiveness, for being a good friend, and why waiting on God to answer our prayers is actually a good thing.
