About this episode

This episode discusses the significance of prayer and how God works through it, even when answers are not as expected.

If you’ve ever prayed with all your heart and wondered, “Did that prayer even accomplish anything?” this message is for you. In Philippians 4, Paul teaches that prayer is about more than changing our circumstances—it is also how God changes us. Looking at the lives of Paul, Jesus in Gethsemane, and others throughout Scripture, we discover that even when the answer isn’t what we hoped for, God is still at work. Sometimes He calms the storm, and sometimes He calms His child in the middle of it. No prayer offered in faith is ever wasted. God hears every cry, notices every tear, and faithfully works in ways we often cannot yet see. Scripture: Philippians 4:4–7
