00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: Life Audio.

2
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:12,040
Speaker 2: Welcome to the Untangling Prayer Podcast. I'm Rachel Wojo, and

3
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 2: each week we unravel lifesnots through prayer. Here you'll find

4
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:21,759
Speaker 2: practical wisdom and prayer encouragement to guide you through life's

5
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:26,439
Speaker 2: hardest seasons. Join me as we untangle life's messes together,

6
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 2: one prayer at a time.

7
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,840
Speaker 1: Well, hey there, I'm Rachel Wojo and I'm so glad

8
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: you've joined me today. I'm doing things just a little

9
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 1: bit differently. Hopefully you won't hear too much shuffling of

10
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: papers and that sort of thing. But I am going

11
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: off script, so to speak, and to my notes because

12
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 1: I really want to deliver something special to you this

13
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: Mother's day. Mother's Day can be really hard. It can

14
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: be a hard week. And maybe motherhood didn't look the

15
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: way that you thought it would. Or maybe the child

16
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: that you prayed for never came, and maybe the child

17
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 1: you have is in a very hard place. So maybe

18
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: even you have a child you raised who isn't around anymore.

19
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: There are just so many scenarios, and wherever you are today,

20
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: I want you to know that you are not alone

21
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: on the journey as a woman, whether you are missing

22
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: a child, missing your mother, or missing the opportunity to

23
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: be a mother. I just want you to sit with

24
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: this question today and our first segment, the Questions in

25
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: Hard Spaces. The question is, how do you ask God

26
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: for a miracle when you've been disappointed in the results

27
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: of your prayer life? And so so, I have something

28
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: that I'm super excited about. For those of you who

29
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: are watching on YouTube, you can see this amazing book

30
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 1: I'm holding in my hand, Praying through Life's Battles Ninety

31
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: Days to Strengthen your Faith. It's available for pre order

32
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: right now on Amazon and at Christian book as well

33
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 1: as probably wherever you buy books. But I'll put the

34
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: link in the show notes. I will talk more about

35
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: this later in the episode, but I had to tell

36
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: you upfront because honestly, I couldn't talk about today's topic

37
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: without telling you that this book is part of the

38
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 1: reason that I can talk about it. Today's question again,

39
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 1: how do you pray for a miracle when you've felt

40
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: disappointed in God's answers before? I really believe this is hard.

41
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: Many of us have prayed something with all of our

42
00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: heart and haven't gotten the answer or that we wanted,

43
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 1: whether it was a loved one passing away what we

44
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: felt like was way too soon we wanted more time

45
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: with them, or whether it was simply not something that

46
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: God gave us. We need had a need, and we

47
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: went without that need filled. There are just so many

48
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 1: situations where we can look at this and say, you

49
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: know what, I really wanted, something different than what God

50
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: gave to me. And so as we look at this

51
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: passage of Psalm seventy eight, I wanted to read the

52
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: words to you from this section because I just really

53
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: felt like going off script was the best way to

54
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: share with you this week. Psalm seventy eight. They forgot

55
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: what he had done, the miracles he had shown them.

56
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: That's verse eleven. Then verse twelve. He did miracles in

57
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: the side of their ancestors in the land of Egypt,

58
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: in the region of Zohen. He divided the sea and

59
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: led them through. He made the water stand up like

60
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: a wall. He guided them with the cloud by day

61
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: and with light from the fire all night. He split

62
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: the rocks in the wilderness and gave them water as

63
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 1: abundant as sees. He brought streams out of a rocky

64
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 1: crag and made water flow down like rivers. But they

65
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: continued to sin against him, rebelling in the wilderness against

66
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: the most high. They wilfully put God to the test

67
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: by demanding the food they craved. They spoke against God,

68
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: They said, can God really spread a table in the wilderness? True,

69
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 1: he struck the rock and water gushed out, streams flowed abundantly.

70
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,799
Speaker 1: But can he also give us bread? Can he supply

71
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: meat for his people? And when the Lord heard them,

72
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: he was furious. His fire broke out against Shakop, and

73
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,679
Speaker 1: his wrath rose against Israel, for they did not believe

74
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 1: in God or trust in his delay. Prince, and boy,

75
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: am I so guilty today of failing to trust that

76
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 1: God will deliver? You know, Asaph is recounting in this

77
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 1: Psalm the story of Israel and what they've gone through.

78
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: And if you look at the miracle. Part that stopped

79
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: me this morning? Am I reading it arrested me is

80
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: when it says he divided the sea and led them

81
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: through as this verse thirteen, he made the water stand

82
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: up like a wall. Most of us have been around

83
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: Church any little bit of time. We've heard the Red

84
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 1: Sea miracle story. We've seen Moses in the Exodus, the

85
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 1: Great movie of Old showing him hitting that water, or

86
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: showing the red sea splitting, I should say, and when

87
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: we look at that wall, you know that's the God.

88
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: We're praying to, the God who made water stand up.

89
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 1: But when we keep reading in this passage, it gets

90
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: a little uncomfortable, doesn't it. Because the honesty is that

91
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 1: the same people who saw that sea split started to

92
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 1: doubt their God, and they said verse twenty two, they

93
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 1: did not believe in God or trust trust his deliverance.

94
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 1: And I think what's interesting about this is it wasn't

95
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 1: that they hadn't seen miracles before they had, but they

96
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: forgot the miracles. They forgot them. That's what disappointment does.

97
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: It makes us forget. When we are struggling with the

98
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 1: answers that we receive from God and we don't know,

99
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: we feel like, maybe, in our opinion, we would have

100
00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:02,919
Speaker 1: done something different. We protect our heart then by not

101
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 1: asking God what feels like wisdom is just a fear

102
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: to pray and ask the Lord for what we need.

103
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: So the questions that I ask myself this week and

104
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: very deliberately today, are my prayers shaped by what I

105
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: remember about God? Or are they shaped by the fears

106
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: that I have in my heart? Are they shaped by

107
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 1: what I'm afraid of? The answer to being disappointed in

108
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: having our prayers answered is not to pray smaller prayers

109
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: or stop praying. It's better remembering. I am going to

110
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: dive into this a little bit deeper, but I wanted

111
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: to have you listen to that questions in hard spaces.

112
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for listening. Will be back soon,

113
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: but after this word from our sponsors, we'll come back

114
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: and dive in a little deeper. Thanks for listening. Thank

115
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: you for listening to that word from our sponsors. And

116
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 1: now it's time for the pray more, Worryless encouragement segment

117
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: of the episode, and today's principle is the way we

118
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: ask God for the next miracle is by remembering the

119
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: last one. And I want to say that one more

120
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: time because it can be really tough. The way we

121
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 1: ask God for the next miracle is by remembering the

122
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: last one. If you go back to Psalm seventy eight,

123
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: verse thirteen, it says he divided the sea. He made

124
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: the water stand up like a wall. Imagine you are

125
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: walking on either either side, You're walking through that water.

126
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 1: And if you have seen that, what would you be

127
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: thinking like, were the fish swimming? Did a little boy

128
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: wave at a fish? And what kind of prayer would

129
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: you pray if you saw that and you saw this

130
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: wall that looked like you were walking by an aquarium window.

131
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:29,439
Speaker 1: My daughter and I recently were at the aquarium in Atlanta,

132
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: and as we looked, we were just both in awe

133
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 1: of those huge fish, the shark, the whale that was

134
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 1: in there. We were in awe. If you walked through

135
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: a sea and saw the fish in the wall of

136
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: the water, just like you were at an aquarium, imagine

137
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: how you would pray the next time. You would remember

138
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: that wall of water, and you would pray like you

139
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,079
Speaker 1: were talking to the God who split the sea right

140
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: in front of you. But that's not what the children

141
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: of Israel did. They forgot. Forgetting is what makes our

142
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:19,199
Speaker 1: next prayer shrink. Can I be honest with you? I

143
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: do this. God has answered big prayers for me, and

144
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 1: a few months later I will have forgotten. I'm in

145
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: a hard space again. I'm in a physical struggle, a

146
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: financial struggle, and I'm praying to God for a miracle,

147
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: but I'm not really asking him for the full blown miracle. Right.

148
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: I still have some doubts. I still have some fears.

149
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 1: Remembering is not actually just a sentimental thing. It is

150
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: spiritual warfare. That's why praying the promises of God is

151
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: so critical. When I write down what I have done,

152
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 1: I am telling my kids the stories. I'm building a case.

153
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: I'm sharing my testimony. I'm building a case against the

154
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: fear that is threatening to shrink my prayers. So this week,

155
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 1: if you're tempted to pray not at all, or pray small,

156
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: or pray carefully because you don't want to hope too big,

157
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:30,679
Speaker 1: then stop and make a memory list. First, write down

158
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: five things where God has shown up for you, five

159
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: times where you knew one hundred percent for sure that

160
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:43,559
Speaker 1: this situation would grow your faith and you would remember

161
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,319
Speaker 1: it forever. But you wrote it down somewhere, and now

162
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,559
Speaker 1: you've already forgotten it and you need to remember it again.

163
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 1: Maybe it was just a friend who texted at the

164
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: exact right moment. And then go back to Psalm seventy

165
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: eight thirteen and say, God divided the red sea. He

166
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 1: can do that for me. But God who did that

167
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 1: is the one you're praying to right now. At one point,

168
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: when I was in Africa, on a missions trip years ago.

169
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: I remember it was time to go home and we

170
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:23,959
Speaker 1: were in waiting at the airport trying to get to

171
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: the airport to get in, and there was a huge

172
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 1: traffic jam all around the city. We're in Nairobi trying

173
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: to get to the night Robi airport and we are

174
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,679
Speaker 1: dreadfully afraid that we are going to miss our flights.

175
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: And we had started out way early, but just the

176
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: congestion and the issues caused major problems getting us to

177
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 1: the airport in a timely fashion. And I remember sitting

178
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: on the third row of that van, right in the middle,

179
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:58,719
Speaker 1: and I prayed, Lord, you parted the Red Sea. This

180
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: traffic is no problem for you, and I prayed it

181
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 1: out loud. I'm sure others on the van thought what

182
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 1: in the world is she doing? But I truly meant

183
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: it from the bottom of my heart that the problem

184
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 1: we had right in front of us was not bigger

185
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 1: than our God. And I am here to tell you

186
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 1: that we managed to meet that plane and get boarded

187
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 1: on time and get home and there was no delay.

188
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 1: And I really felt like God answered that prayer right

189
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 1: in the moment. Listen to this and John eleven Martha

190
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:42,959
Speaker 1: runs out to meet Jesus after her brother Lazarus dies,

191
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 1: and the first thing she says to him is, Lord,

192
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,199
Speaker 1: if you had been here, my brother wouldn't have died.

193
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 1: And I think that's the way many of us feel

194
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: when we've experienced loss, and many of us feel that

195
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: way around Mother's dead Day, because even if our grief

196
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: is not associated with the loss, sometimes is associated with

197
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 1: maybe not a death, but the death of a circumstance.

198
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: I've prayed Martha this prayer more times than I can count,

199
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 1: where I've said, Lord, if you, if you, then I,

200
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 1: If you, then we And the greatest disappointments that some

201
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: of the space are when the people that we love

202
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 1: are not healed. My daughter Taylor was not healed on

203
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: the side of heaven. She died, and that will always

204
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: be very hard for me when I look at this

205
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 1: miracle that I'm looking at in my hand right now,

206
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 1: praying through life's battles. This wasn't written from a platform

207
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 1: or from a stage. It was written by a mom

208
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: who prayed for miracles that I didn't receive. And it

209
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 1: was written because even now I believe that my God

210
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 1: can make water stand up like a wall I believe

211
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 1: there are still miracles for me to see in my lifetime.

212
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:27,359
Speaker 1: I've seen him do it before, and it wasn't always

213
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 1: the way that I ask, but I have seen it.

214
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: In Daniel three, there were three young men who were

215
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: standing in front of the fiery furnace, and they said,

216
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 1: we will not bow down. Our God is able to

217
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: deliver us, and he will deliver us. But if he

218
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 1: does not, we will not bow down. And that's the

219
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 1: prayer I have had to learn to pray. God can,

220
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 1: God will, But if he chooses not to in this lifetime,

221
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 1: trust him. I trust him because a God who spared

222
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: not his son for me loves me too much. He

223
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: loves me too much to give up on the best

224
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: plan for my life. This is the answered prayer. God

225
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: is always faithful. He is not out of faithfulness. You

226
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: can still pray for a wall of water, and whatever

227
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: the answer looks like, He is still good. I told

228
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: you that at the beginning of this episode that I

229
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 1: was holding this book in my hands, praying through life's battles.

230
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 1: Ninety days to strengthen your faith. And this book does

231
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 1: not release until August twenty fifth. It's available for pre order,

232
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: but I want to say plainly that I never want

233
00:16:55,560 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: a podcast episode to just feel like a commercial. And

234
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 1: if you're sitting with a disappointment and you're trying to

235
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: figure out, how do I pray boldly when I have

236
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 1: been disappointed in God's answers before? This book is for you.

237
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 1: It's full of my prayers where I leaned into the

238
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:23,439
Speaker 1: faith that I was holding on to. And I pray,

239
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: whether you pre order or not, that today's episode of

240
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 1: answering this most difficult question, God, Where are you? God?

241
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,400
Speaker 1: How do I rely on you? How can I expect

242
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 1: a miracle when my prayers have gone seemingly unanswered? I

243
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 1: pray that today's episode had been encouraging you to you

244
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 1: that as you look at the scripture, you might take

245
00:17:53,960 --> 00:18:00,119
Speaker 1: away one little nugget that is God, you are someone

246
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:06,439
Speaker 1: who makes water stand up in a wall. I know

247
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 1: you can do miracles in my life today, and though

248
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 1: you may choose not to, I trust that your plan

249
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 1: for me is beyond what I can imagine. Until next time, Remember,

250
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 1: God sees you, he hears you, and he knows your need.
