🔥 Does it feel like your prayers are going unanswered? Have you ever begged God for an answer—healing, a breakthrough, clarity—only to be met with silence? If so, you're not alone.

In this episode of the E4:12 Catalyst Podcast, we dive deep into how to keep praying even when God seems silent. We'll explore three ways God answers prayer and why His response is always perfect, even when it doesn't feel that way.

👉 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
✅ The Three Ways God Answers Prayer

• Yes – Sometimes, God answers immediately.
• Wait – God’s delays are not His denials—He has a greater plan.
• No – When God says no, it's because He has something better in store.

✅ The Greatest Gift of Prayer

• More than answers, prayer is about getting GOD Himself—the greatest treasure we could ever receive.

✅ How to Shift Your Prayer Life

• Stop just asking for gifts—start seeking the Giver.

🎯 Your Challenge:
🙏 Pray: “Lord, more than anything else, I want to know You. As the deer pants for water, so my soul longs for You.”
