Have you ever wondered how to hold onto God's promises when life feels overwhelming? In this encouraging conversation, I sit down with Susie McEntire Eaton from the Jesus Listens YouTube broadcast to explore how God's promises can anchor us through life's storms.

Susie shares her powerful journey from a childhood shaped by her prayer warrior grandmother to navigating an abusive marriage and finding her identity in Christ. Her story demonstrates how our understanding of God's promises deepens through both triumph and trial.

In this episode, we discuss:

How our earthly father relationships can affect how we view our Heavenly Father
Why we can't rely on others' faith - we must make God's promises personal
The power of simple prayers like "Thank you, Jesus" when we don't know what else to say
How the promise "I will never leave you nor forsake you" becomes especially precious for those who've experienced abandonment

Whether you're walking through a difficult season or simply want to strengthen your prayer life, this conversation will encourage you to stand firmly on what God says is true about you.
