Summary
When God doesn’t answer our prayers, it's easy to feel grief.
If you have been walking with Him for a long time, it's tempting to want to numb out or give up. But what happens when neither of those options works?
If you are exhausted repeating the same prayers and getting less hopeful, or wrestling knowing God can change your circumstances and being heartbroken that He isn't, this episode is for you. Our friend Shae Hill talks about how we can find a gift in prayer, even while we are feeling frustrated and forgotten. Be encouraged that it is possible to hold disappointment and a desire to pray at the same time.
This episode is Part 3 of a four-part series; make sure you subscribe so you don't miss what's next!
