How to Pray When God Says No—and Keep Trusting

Have you ever prayed with faith and still heard “no”—or nothing at all? What do you do when the answer you hoped for never comes?In this episode of *The Visiting Table*, Ken and Julie explore answered prayer, unanswered prayer, and trusting God’s timing. Beginning with Jesus’ prayer in Gethsemane, they uncover a simple four-part pattern: approach God as Father, believe He is able, make your request directly, and submit to His will.They also share personal stories about a long-awaited answer, a remarkable birthday prayer that led a friend to baptism, and the peace God provided at exactly the right time. Discover why prayer is not a blank check, how it changes us, and why Jesus invites us to keep asking, seeking, and knocking.Chapters:00:00 A Conversation About Prayer  00:53 An Answer That Took Years  04:13 Why Prayer Can Be Hard to Understand  06:09 How Abiding and Prayer Work Together  08:42 The Prayer Jesus Prayed When God Said No  14:18 Four Parts of Jesus’ Prayer  17:56 Why Prayer Is a Daily Battle  19:44 Is Prayer Really a Blank Check?  21:29 The Birthday Prayer That Led to Baptism  30:03 When God Says “Wait” or “No”  31:48 Praying According to God’s Will  33:33 Can Prayer Bring Peace in Anxiety?  39:47 Keep Asking, Seeking, and Knocking  43:41 Why You Should Never Stop Praying for Someone  46:27 “Call to Me, and I Will Answer You”=========== Pull up a chair!*The Visiting Table* is a place for honest conversations about faith, relationships, and discovering the God who meets us right where we are. *The Visiting Table* is a production of the Voice of Prophecy, a Seventh-day Adventist media ministry.🌐 Watch Full Episodes of The Visiting Table:  https://www.vop.com/thevisitingtable📖 Receive free Bible studies and resources from Voice of Prophecy:  https://www.vop.com/biblestudies💛 Support the Voice of Prophecy and help share Christ-centered media worldwide:  https://www.vop.com/give
