In this episode of Why I Believe, Michelle Von Ruden sits down with Philippa Channer for an honest conversation about prayer, waiting, transition, and learning to trust God when you can't see what He's doing. Philippa shares how faith has been woven throughout her life, but also how her relationship with God has grown and changed through different seasons. There have been prayers that seemed unanswered. Times when she questioned what God was doing. Moments when she wanted clarity but instead had to wait. And seasons when, looking back, she could finally see that God had been preparing the way long before she understood where He was leading her. We talk about what it means to bring our desires honestly to God while still surrendering the outcome. Because prayer isn't about giving God our plan and asking Him to approve it. Sometimes the answer is yes. Sometimes it's no. Sometimes it's not yet. And sometimes God answers in a way we never considered. Philippa's story is a beautiful reminder that faith doesn't require us to know what's coming next. It asks us to trust the One who does. If you've been praying, waiting, questioning, or wondering whether God hears you, this conversation is for you. \ud83c\udfa7 Listen to Why I Believe wherever you get your podcasts. Real Stories.
