Over the past six days, we’ve learned from Nehemiah’s story about praying for impossible situations, trusting God’s timing, and letting Him change hearts we can’t. Today, Gene recaps four powerful principles that can reshape how you pray and how you live:
1- Part of praying is waiting. Real prayer requires patience and trust that God is working behind the scenes.
2 - Faith is no substitute for careful planning. Don’t just pray, prepare for what God will do.
3 - Changing hearts is God’s specialty. You can’t manipulate someone into change, but God can transform even the hardest heart.
4 - God’s will always has opposition. Criticism doesn’t mean you’re off track, in fact it may mean you’re right where God wants you.
Pursuing God with Gene Appel is designed to help you pursue God, build community, and unleash compassion. Grounded in Scripture and shaped by Eastside’s conviction that God’s grace is for everyone, each episode invites you to discover God’s presence and activity in your life.
