Praying When You're Afraid of What Can Go Wrong
Are you afraid of what could still go wrong? A lot of us carry a fear about the future, and it reshapes how we pray. We start asking God for the small things because we're scared to hand Him the big one, the one that would wreck us if the answer came back no. In this episode, we sit in Romans 8:37-38, two verses that don't promise a future with no hard things in it. They promise something you need
Still Waiting on God After You've Prayed
