What Do I Do When My Prayers STILL Aren't Answered? (5 UNEXPECTED Gifts Of UNANSWERED Prayers) | Ep. 26

Let's Unpack That with Alex & Grace | Christian Life Coaching, Spiritual Growth, Holistic Wellness, Faith-Based Wisdom

How do you keep standing strong in faith… even when your prayers STILL haven’t been answered… and it HURTS?
Today, we dive deep into this very common, and often painful, and often deeply private, struggle. How do we honestly grapple with unanswered prayers - and all the complex emotions, doubts, and internal tensions that come with them?
Tune in as we share our personal experiences, including Grace journeying through this in singleness and Alex's struggles in less-than-ideal job situations.
We unpack five hidden blessings we’ve personally gleaned in these seasons that can be easily overlooked… but once we pay attention to them, we realize are key to our own transformation.
We also share practical tips for how to “wait well” - and take care of your heart, mind, and soul when you’re still in the season of “not yet.”
If you're feeling discouraged or find yourself in waves of doubt because of the dreams or desires that haven’t come to fruition yet… friend, you are NOT alone.
We pray this conversation encourages you and equips you with perspectives and tools for greaterhope, strength, and endurance to keep going.
