Have you ever prayed for someone and watched God answer their prayer while your own seems to go unanswered? Maybe you're asking for healing, but God uses you to pray for someone else who gets healed. Or you're struggling financially, but God prompts you to give to someone in need. It feels confusing, even painful.

In this episode, you'll discover:

Why being used to answer someone else's prayer doesn't mean God is ignoring yours
The powerful promise in Isaiah 58:9 that changes everything about unanswered prayer
How serving others in your pain actually positions you for God's provision
Why some prayers will remain mysteries until heaven—and why that's okay
Practical encouragement for when you feel forgotten while blessing others

If you've been wondering why God trusts you to be His hands and feet while you're still waiting for your breakthrough, this episode will help you see your situation from God's perspective. You'll walk away with fresh hope that you're not forgotten—you're being positioned for something greater than you can imagine.
