About this episode

Pastor Mike Matumaini discusses the three stages before God answers prayer and why there may be delays in receiving answers.

Have you ever wondered if God is actually hearing your prayers? You've been praying. Nothing's changed. And quietly, you've started asking, "God, do You even see me?" This message is for anyone stuck in the silence between the prayer and the provision. Because God isn't ignoring you, He's preparing you. In this message, Pastor Mike walks through the three stages we often experience before we see God move: the prayer, the process, and the provision. Grounded in Exodus 3, the story of Hannah, and the moment God opened Hagar's eyes in the wilderness, this is a message for anyone in a waiting season. You'll hear: - Why God hears every prayer, even the ones you can't put into words - The difference between an unanswered prayer and an unseen answer - Why God often changes you before He changes your situation - How Hannah left the temple with peace before she left with a promise - What to do when the answer feels delayed.
