We talk a lot about prayer in church… but what happens when it feels like it doesn’t work?

What do you do when you’ve prayed for healing—and it didn’t come?
When you believe in God, but still wrestle with doubt?
When you feel like you’re carrying more than you were meant to?

In this message, we look at James 5 and 1 Peter 5 and wrestle with the tension between what Scripture says about prayer and what we actually experience in real life.

This isn’t a polished, perfect message.
It’s raw. It’s uncomfortable.
And it’s real.

If you’ve ever struggled with unanswered prayers, anxiety, or feeling like you don’t measure up spiritually… this is for you.
