He invites us to pray. He commands us to pray. Why does God care about that? Why would he care about me

praying? Because he wants your cooperation. He wants you to be a part of what he's doing in the

lives of other people. Welcome back to Verity Podcast friends. I'm Felicia Masonheimer, your host, and we are in the middle of our series on prayer. Every episode in this series was a question submitted by one of our listeners. So thank you so much for sending those in. We took the most popular of those questions, and that's how we built out this

prayer series. If you'd like to listen back, you can check out our previous episodes in this

series on YouTube, Spotify, iTunes, or your favorite podcast app. Today, we're talking about

God's answers to prayer, or rather, why do some of our prayers go unanswered? Maybe temporarily or for a very

long time or forever. Why are there certain things that we pray for that we don't see a fulfillment of?

And how do we understand that? How do we keep praying for things when answers are delayed or they don't look the way that we wish? Well, as usual, we're going to start in scripture. But before we get there, I want to thank you so much for subscribing to our YouTube channel, subscribing in iTunes. It helps other people find every woman a Theologian and Verity podcast. And also,

Gospel of John, and then dozens more resources as well. So you can head to Felicia Masonheimer.com

products. And in this launch, we have a focus on prayer. So everything

we're talking about in these episodes is going to come to you in brand new resources during the

March 2026 launch. All right, let's dive into what scripture says about prayer and its answers that's the best place to

start we're going to look at several different passages here kind of talk through them and then i have

four main points for you as we wrap up this episode and kind of get through what does it mean

for us to understand god's answers and unanswered prayer.
