Today, Mari addresses the challenging topic of feeling unheard or that God doesn't care and isn't listening to your prayers. She emphasizes that no prayer goes unanswered by God, who responds in three ways: yes, yes but not now, or no because something better is planned. Through personal anecdotes and biblical examples, Mari helps listeners navigate the frustration and uncertainty of waiting for answers. She encourages a deeper understanding of prayer as a means to build a relationship with God, rather than a mere wish list, and underscores the importance of surrender, faith, and patience. For those struggling with unanswered prayers, Mari provides comfort and perspective, highlighting the transformative power of trust and the value of suffering in drawing closer to God.
