Sometimes the circumstances around us can seem overwhelming! There are so many that are often in our prayers where we have no control or ability to make any significant change, and yet we care and pray. Our heart hurts and concern can slip into worry or overwhelm.
During one of these seasons, my guest Melody Hester was inspired to reflect on the names and attributes of God when praying for a multitude of circumstances that felt heavier than what she could bear. In doing this, God inspired what has become “Umbrella Prayers,” a simple prayer tool that anyone can use.
It was such a delight to hear what God has been doing through Melody’s steps of faithfulness. Starting from a place of overwhelm in praying for the situations around her, God prompted Melody to reflect on who HE is, and from there, she began to put the circumstances under God’s care. By using the image of an umbrella, she’s helped many other women begin to place their prayer concerns under God’s care.
I particularly appreciated Melody’s honesty in saying that she really didn’t have a major strategy, she has just continually stepped through the doors that God has been opening for Umbrella Prayers. She invited us to consider two questions, which we’ll use in the Questions of the Week.

Question of the Week
Join us in the Faithful Innovation Lab, a Private Facebook Group where we discuss the ways God is faithfully innovating our lives. This week’s questions:
- What attributes of God do you need to focus on the most in this season of your life?
- What attribute or characteristic of God have you seen displayed in your life?
- Which prompted me to ask… In this season of your life, where might God be inviting you to venture with him?
Whatever it may be, I’d love it if you’d join us in the Facebook Group and share how God is working in your life. We’d love to encourage you!
