Have you ever found yourself praying for months about the same need—a job, financial help, or just peace about your situation—and started wondering if what you're asking for is actually something God promises to meet?

In this episode, Rachel tackles the hard question: "How do I know if what I'm praying for is actually a 'need' that God will meet, or just a 'want' I need to let go of?" You'll discover:

What Philippians 4:19 really means when God promises to supply all our needs
How to discern the difference between needs and wants in prayer
Why God's definition of provision might look different than your expectations
How to pray with confidence even when you're not sure what to ask for
Pastor Dan's incredible story of 26 rejection letters and God's perfect timing

Whether you're in a season of waiting for God's provision or struggling to know how to pray about your needs, this episode will encourage your heart and strengthen your trust in God's faithful promises.
