The Messy Middle - Trusting God in Unanswered Prayers: Anna Thompson's Story :: [Episode 320]

Happy Holy Week! The team at Storytellers Live is praying blessings over you this week as you celebrate our risen Savior, Jesus Christ. And, wow, do we have the perfect story to get your mind focused on the good news of Sunday?

Oftentimes, when life is not going as planned and our prayers aren't being answered the way we want them to be, we are left questioning God and His ways. But, as today's storyteller reminds us, our God is purposeful in the pain and the messy middle is where His best work takes place.

Anna Thompson, from our Memphis, Tennessee community group, shares her story of walking through the confusion, heartbreak, and anger she experienced when she desperately wanted a second child and her life's picture was not developing as planned. Anna's words are going to inspire you to rest in knowing that even in the midst of unanswered prayers God is weaving together a beautiful tapestry of His love, goodness, and grace.

IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN:

* God is faithful even if the answer to your prayer is no.

* The Lord and His love will sustain you no matter the circumstances. (Romans 8:38-39)

* Only in Heaven will you see the top side of the tapestry that God is weaving here on earth.

"My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me." Psalm 63:8
