Hi, I am Sarah. And if you are here, I already feel like I know you a little.
You want more from your prayer life. You are tired of prayers that feel like talking to a ceiling. You want to actually feel God’s presence. You want your faith to be real — not just on Sunday mornings, but on Tuesday afternoons when life feels heavy.
My Story
I grew up in a faith-filled home in rural Georgia. My grandmother prayed over everything — meals, scraped knees, thunderstorms, and big dreams. She was the first person who showed me that prayer is not a ritual. It is a relationship.
But in my early twenties, that relationship got complicated. I went through a painful divorce at 27. I lost my father to cancer when I was 29. I hit a wall in my faith that felt impossible to climb.
It was during that season that a mentor handed me a little book on biblical fasting. I did my first Daniel Fast in January of 2010 — alone, in a tiny apartment, with a worn Bible and a journal. I did not know if it would work. But God showed up. He spoke clearly. He healed things I did not even know were broken.
That fast changed my life. I have not been the same since.
My Ministry
In 2012, I started sharing what I had learned with a small group of women at my church. Eight of us fasted together, prayed together, and watched God move in every single one of our lives. That group became Rooted in Prayer Ministries.
Today, Rooted in Prayer has grown into an online community of over 40,000 women across the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. We run yearly Daniel Fast challenges, create scripture-based prayer resources, and host virtual prayer gatherings. Every January and September, thousands of women join us for our guided 21-day Daniel Fast program.

A Note on Biblical Accuracy
Every article I write that contains scripture is personally reviewed for biblical accuracy. Bible verses are always cited with book, chapter, verse, and translation — either NIV or KJV. I do not use invented or paraphrased scripture. Every reference can be verified at BibleGateway.com.
“Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.” — Psalm 119:105 (NIV)
A Little More About Me
When I am not writing or leading prayer groups, I enjoy hiking in the Tennessee hills, cooking plant-based meals, reading theology, and spending time with my husband David and our two teenage sons, Eli and Noah.
I write every article on PrayerMind personally. Each piece is rooted in scripture, shaped by years of real ministry experience, and written with you in mind.
“Prayer is not a religious performance. It is a real conversation with a real God who is really listening.” — Sarah J. Coleman
