331 // How to build a prayer habit in 2026 | Simple Faith Routine!

Author: Stacey Ziegler January 13, 2026 Duration: 18:50
Pause & prayer — two simple holy habits that can transform the way you move through your day.

In this week’s episode, we lean into the power of stopping, breathing, and reconnecting with the One who gives us strength, guidance, and peace.

If you’ve been feeling rushed, scattered, tired, or spiritually dry… 
this is your gentle invitation to slow down and come back home to prayer.

Inside today’s episode:
✨ Why “pause” is the hinge for ALL your holy habits
✨ How prayer builds spiritual and emotional resilience
✨ The connection between stillness, hormones, stress, and energy
✨ A simple Pause & Prayer routine you can use anytime
✨ How this holy habit sets the foundation for movement, nutrition, and Scripture
✨ Why silence, breath, and presence can deepen your walk with God in minutes

This is your reminder that spiritual growth doesn’t require perfection — just a pause, a breath, and a willing heart.

Fit & Fueled by Faith — where prayer, purpose, and holy habits meet.
