Have you ever prayed persistently for years, only to miss God's answer when it finally comes? In this episode, Julie shares a powerful revelation God gave her after her mother's passing—that He had faithfully answered prayers she'd been praying for years, but she hadn't recognized it.

Drawing from the story of Peter's miraculous prison escape in Acts 12, Julie explores how even the early church struggled to believe their prayers were answered when Peter stood knocking at their door. She shares specific prayers from her journals—prayers for her mother's peace, for family healing, and for the ability to love unconditionally—and how God answered every one through her mother's year-long journey with dementia.

This episode will encourage you to:

• Continue praying persistently, even when you don't see immediate results
• Look back at your own life to recognize where God has been working all along
• Stay spiritually alert and watchful for God's movement in your circumstances
• Trust that your heartfelt prayers are never vain repetitions

If you've been praying for something for years without seeing God move, this episode will give you hope and help you open your eyes to see His faithful answers.
