When God Doesn’t Answer Your List: From Demands to Deep Trust
In this episode, I share what my first prayers looked like after Monica’s death—raw, desperate, and full of demands. From pleading for miracles to panicking over future loss, I’ll tell you how my relationship with God shifted from transactional to transformational.
I’m reading from the final chapter of Dying to Be Healed, where I open up about how Monica’s faith journey—and eventual death—led me to chase after God with a new purpose.
This isn’t a tidy testimony tied up with answers, but a reminder that peace doesn’t come from getting what we ask for—it comes from trusting the One we ask.
And often, the greatest healing doesn’t happen in the way we expect.
 
📖 Scripture of the Week
“Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” — Hebrews 4:16
Action Step
Take time this week to reflect: Are you asking God more for things… or for more of Him? Let your prayers shift from demands to drawing near.

Hey, I’m Stef.  Southern by choice, turtle triathlete, wife and Jesus follower.  I’ve experienced life-changing grief and struggled for years with the physical changes, the emotional roller-coaster and the spiritual questioning.  I asked ‘why’ more times than I can count, went ‘boldly’ (and disrespectfully) to the throne, and was confused by a pain I had never felt before.  I believed I would never be happy again and had all but given up on fulfilling my purpose. 

But God!  

Through my trials, I discovered a path to true healing, deeper relationship with God and gratitude that continues to fill my heart.  This is a story of faith, FRamily support and redemption that only God can author.  And, I want to share this with you.
