How have you sustained yourself as a musician and singer over the years?

Perseverance in Prayer

Sarah grew up in Whitehall Montana and came to IHOP in January 2005 and completed the Onething Internship. Her desire is to increase daily in the revelation of Jesus through prayer and studying His word, so that she would live a life without mixture and bring glory to His name. 



As I think about the question “What has kept my heart alive in prayer?” I get a little overwhelmed. It’s like I’m opening up the journal of my life. There have been many “motivations” that have caused me to persevere in my pursuit of the Lord. Some of them right and good and godly but others of them were nothing more than pride and selfish ambition.

The lifeline of my singing
