What do you do when prayer starts feeling heavy? Pastor Chris reflects honestly on unanswered prayer, ministry exhaustion, Hannah’s story in 1 Samuel, and why staying close to Jesus matters even when life remains unresolved.
Amen. Sometimes, or most times, we need to just stay connected to the Father and keep having conversations, even though that looks like just going through the motions; but even though we may not notice, God’s Spirit is changing our attitude and hearts - from one degree or glory to another. As 2 Corinthians 3:18,
"And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate[a] the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit." NIV Bible.
It's so important to talk with God in the messy middle. The waiting is tough.
This really helped me.
I only wish I could find time to read everyone here. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing this. It was very encouraging and helpful.

Thank you Chris for a very refreshing necessary look at prayer, what pray without ceasing means.
Very good read indeed Pastor🙌🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
There are several ways of looking at unanswered prayers. I look at it like this song. By Garth brooks.
