Why Praying Harder Doesn’t Work (Here’s Proof) | #066 | Unlearned Wisdom

About this episode

In this episode, Johnny Chang discusses the complexities of prayer and understanding God's responses.

📲 Make God a daily habit in your life: https://onelink.to/cothdailyapp A few years ago I lost one of my closest friends and I blamed God for it. I had prayed for him more than almost anyone in my life, I watched him get so close to changing, and then he was gone. Through that pain I had to learn that God always answers prayer, the answer is just sometimes yes, sometimes no, and sometimes wait.
