Sadie Robertson Shares Advice for Christian Prayer

Most of you know Sadie Robertson of Duck Dynasty fame. She has always been a devout Christian. She communicates her strong faith daily through her social media platforms and shares her messages to believers who love to grasp some of her spirit.

Sadie said something recently that really spoke to me, and I wanted to share it with you, especially during these times of what seem like regular terror attacks, assaults on our faith, and increasing atheism.

She said she periodically finds herself hiding things from God in prayer, and she’s not alone. Nobody I know likes to feel as if they are doing the wrong thing. My father, while he was alive, always talked about prayer as a way to work through talking to God and expressing your sincere forgiveness and acceptance of following His will.

Sadie gave a beautiful response on her Instagram page and I hope this finds you and gives you peace if you happen to be going through something.

I used to hide things from God in my prayer life. I mainly did because I was afraid. I was afraid I would fail in that area again. I thought maybe I was doing me and God both a solid to just not mention it. That only created division between myself and my creator. The one that Knit me in my mothers womb. There was something in between us hindering our relationship, because I wouldn’t address the elephant in the room. The things I was holding onto were starting to weigh heavier. The longer this went on the louder my struggle got, and the quieter it seemed like the voice of truth got. It’s crazy how when you run from truth you run into so many lies. I began to justify things and rewrite truth until ultimately I felt as though it wasn’t even something I needed to pray about. wow … can we get so off as humans. Eventually life slapped me in the face and before I could slap back I found myself gently opening the pages of the Bible and seeing all the truth I had run from for so long. As it is said…”you can’t say that God is silent when your bible is closed” you also can’t say He isn’t answering when you never even asked a question, or you wrote His answer for Him. For those of you who may be afraid of God, because you see Him as “judgement” I want to offer you some other names for Him… He is…. the way, the TRUTH, the life, a rock, LOVE, peace, the creator, sovereign, He is strength when we are weak, He IS the beginning and the end. He honestly has used me most in my weakest moments. He has given my pain purpose. He has constantly showed me redemption. So, today if you have made a name for who God is, but never opened the book to see or asked to receive I want to challenge you to do so. Pursue truth today, and you will find peace. Praying for all of you warriors ❤️ run to truth.

Isn’t that incredible? Lots of people feel that way, but we may not want to admit it.

Sadie recently produced this video about a “Giving Key” that stands for “even when,” which speaks so deeply and spiritually to situations that may weigh you down. It’s a great reminder that will bring you back to your roots, remembering that God can handle everything that comes your way.

Thank you, Sadie, for sharing your experience with us. We all fall short through our daily walk but your inspiration and constant drive to follow your spiritual path helps to renew our strength!
