Summary
Are you waiting on God to answer your prayer? The one you've brought to Him over and over? Friend — this episode is for you. Think of that unanswered prayer right now.
NEW FREEBIE: Friend, Put It Down. The striving. The hustle. The trying to figure it all out yourself. There is a better way. Join me for a free 5-minute workshop and learn how to walk with God — not just on Sunday, but every single day. http://kimdolanleto.com/dailywalk
Maybe you've been believing for healing. For a marriage to be restored. For a health and fitness goal to be reached. For a prodigal child to come home. For a financial breakthrough that hasn't shown up yet. For a baby. For a door that just will not open no matter how hard you knock.
And if you're honest — the waiting is starting to mess with you. Not just your peace. Your faith.
Friend, stay right here.
These 3 anchors are going to build your faith, quiet your doubts, and help you stand on the promises of God — because that mountain of your unanswered prayer? It is going to move.
In This Episode:
- What story are you telling yourself — and are you in agreement with God or the enemy?
- Why God could be writing a brand new story but you're still reliving the same old chapter
- What it really means to seek God daily in the storm — and the one question that will shift your entire posture in the waiting
- What to do when your faith is tested — the exact scriptures, worship songs, and daily practices that keep you standing
- Why trust means the pain you are feeling has a purpose — even when nothing makes sense
- The difference between waiting for the answer and waiting on God — and why it changes everything
- A practical Faith-filled Action Plan for each anchor so you leave today equipped, not just encouraged
