Why Does God Answer Through Me but Not For Me?


Hello Reader,

Have you ever prayed for someone and watched God answer their prayer while your own seems to go unanswered? Maybe you're asking for healing, but God uses you to pray for someone else who gets healed. Or you're struggling financially, but God prompts you to give to someone in need. It feels confusing, even painful.

In this episode, you'll discover:

  • Why being used to answer someone else's prayer doesn't mean God is ignoring yours
  • The powerful promise in Isaiah 58:9 that changes everything about unanswered prayer
  • How serving others in your pain actually positions you for God's provision
  • Why some prayers will remain mysteries until heaven—and why that's okay
  • Practical encouragement for when you feel forgotten while blessing others

This Easter, I'm getting honest about the dead places I've been looking for life — not out in the world, but inside my own heart. The self-talk that tears down instead of builds up. The thoughts that are not true, not honest, not of good report. What happens when what's living in our hearts starts flowing out of our mouths? You’ll...

Hey Reader, Moments of desperation strike every human heart. Whether tragedy, sickness, or brokenness, the reasons for our despair seem endless. As I have drenched myself in the Psalms season after season since my daughter, Taylor’s, death in 2019, Psalm 102:17 has often arrested my attention. “He will respond to the prayer of the destitute.” I researched the word “destitute” because in my mind, I typically would define destitute as “homeless.” Maybe you too? So I read every major Bible...
