Tracie Mandel - Prayer and Encouragement Minister
My name is Tracie. Prayer has never been just a wish list for me. It has become the deep cry of my heart to the Lord, a place where I praise Him for who He is and for all He has done. Prayer is where I lay every burden at His feet, trusting fully that He is in control. It is a holy conversation line from my heart to His ears and then back to my own heart as I listen. In those quiet moments I find Him whispering truth into the places that still feel wounded. He reminds me that I am worthy, that I am made in His image, and that He has never stopped holding me.
​
I didn’t grow up in a Christian home, but God placed a friend in my life whose mother was a believer. She prayed for me long before I ever understood the covering those prayers gave me. She was the first person I told when I repented of my sins and decided to follow Jesus.
​
I have faltered along the way, but Jesus has been faithfully working on me ever since. Day by day I can see how far He has brought me. Every trial, every trauma, every tear I cried drew me closer to the One who bottles my tears. He didn’t shield me from the hard things, but He used those very things to shape me into a woman who can serve His Kingdom with a steadier heart.
​
That is why I take prayer seriously. I’ve seen its beauty. I’ve watched how God weaves everything together for His good purposes. So I pray deeply. I listen carefully. And I follow His lead. When He stirs my heart, I move. When He speaks to my spirit, I write what He tells me to write. My life is proof that He is near, He is kind, and He can redeem every chapter we place in His hands.
​
As the Lord has continued to grow me and call me, He has opened the door for me to serve with Margins Ministries as the Prayer and Encouragement Minister. I am humbled and grateful to stand with this ministry, lifting up the Body of Christ, praying over every woman who enters these spaces, and supporting the vision to help people meet God in the margins of His Word. My heart is to serve with compassion, pray with bold faith, and walk alongside this community as we pursue Jesus together.
