Pray Dangerous Prayers = More Miracles in Your Life

Stop Praying Small: How Bold Prayers Unlock Miracles(featuring missionary Josh Siratt & the Wigglesworth connection)

Do your prayers feel… safe? Predictable? Maybe even powerless?

I’ve been there. I’ve prayed the polite prayers that help me escape dreaming too big, only to feel frustrated when nothing really shifted. But what if the size of our prayers is the very thing limiting what we see God do?

That’s exactly what my guest, missionary Josh Siratt, and I dove into on this week’s episode of Java with Jen. And let me tell you—the stories he carries are nothing short of breathtaking.

🙏 Why Bold Prayers Matter

Josh shares how a single daring prayer for Europe turned into God opening entire nations to him. Not because he had influence or connections, but because he dared to ask.

Bold prayers are faith on display. They’re declarations that we believe God is who He says He is—and that He actually wants to move in our lives.

As Josh puts it, “Safe prayers maintain comfort. Dangerous prayers create miracles.”

🌍 Wigglesworth’s Legacy Lives On

One of the most incredible parts of Josh’s story is his connection to the former home of revivalist Smith Wigglesworth, the fiery evangelist known for radical faith and miraculous healings.

Josh found himself standing outside Wigglesworth’s house, sensing the weight of revival history, and later forging a real-life connection to Wigglesworth’s family. He even has the opportunity to become the next steward of that historic home.

Why does this matter? Because it reminds us: God doesn’t just move in history books. He is still writing revival stories today.

💡 How to Pray Bold Prayers in Your Life

So what does this mean for you, in your everyday world—between school drop-offs, Zoom calls, and Target runs?

Here are three simple steps Josh and I unpacked:

1. Name it – Ask for something specific, not vague, that’s too big for you to do on your own. That way when it happens, you KNOW it’s God.

2. Write it – Keep it visible, so your faith stays engaged.

3. Obey fast – When God nudges, move. Don’t overthink.

You don’t have to move to Europe or buy Wigglesworth’s house. You just need to start asking bigger than you are comfortable with.
