Verity by Phylicia Masonheimer

Why do some of our prayers seem to go unanswered—temporarily, long-term, or forever? How do we keep praying when answers are delayed or don't look the way we hoped? In this episode, we tackle one of the hardest questions in the Christian life: understanding God's responses to prayer when they don't match our expectations.
In this episode, we examine:
✓ What does "ask anything and it will be yours" really mean? (Mark 11:24, John 15:7)
✓ The difference between prosperity gospel and biblical prayer
✓ Why faith isn't about "believing hard enough"
✓ Four reasons God delays or denies prayer requests
✓ How to trust God's character when prayers aren't answered
✓ The supernatural work happening behind our prayers
✓ Praying with persistence through long seasons of waiting
If you've ever felt discouraged by unanswered prayer, this episode will help you pray with faith and hope—even in the waiting.

How do you pray God's will—without trying to control the outcome? In this episode, we break down what Scripture actually teaches about the will of God and how to pray in alignment with His truth and character. Learn the difference between bold, biblical prayer and self-centered or "manifesting" language, and discover how God's will is revealed through His Word—not guesswork.
If you're a woman seeking clarity, confidence, and depth in your prayer life, this teaching will help you pray with boldness, humility, and trust.
In this episode, we examine:
✓ What is the will of God? (Romans 12:2, 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, Micah 6:8)
✓ How to discern God's will through a renewed mind
✓ The difference between praying boldly and praying selfishly
✓ Why God doesn't always give us a "blueprint" for decisions
✓ How to pray freely without fear of getting it "wrong"
✓ Biblical prayer vs. manifestation theology
