STRIKE: Praying Through Disappointment | Part 2
from The Spark Hosted by Sandra Carroll
What if your tears aren't a sign that your faith is failing? What if they're the very seeds God is using to grow something beautiful? In Part 2 of our STRIKE: Praying Through Disappointment series, we're talking about what it means to keep praying when life doesn't go according to plan. Because not every prayer is prayed with confidence. Some are prayed through grief. Some through disappointment. Some through heartbreak. In this episode, Sandra shares a deeply personal moment of wrestling with fear and finding unexpected hope in Ezra 3. Through the story of Israel rebuilding the altar while still afraid, we're reminded that God never asked us to wait until the fear was gone before we worshipped. Sometimes the greatest act of faith isn't pretending we're okay. It's bringing our tears to God and trusting that He can turn them into seeds of hope. Main Scriptures: 📖 Psalm 126:5 📖 Ezra 3:3, 11 📖 Luke 18:1 ✨ Affirmation I do not have to hide my tears from God. My tears are seeds planted in faith. I can worship while I'm waiting, pray while I'm hurting, and trust God even when I don't understand. Fear does not have the final say. God is still good, God is still faithful, and He is working even through my tears. 🎧 If this episode encouraged you, subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who needs hope today. 🌿 Learn more about Beauty for Ashes Co. and listen to more episodes at: https://www.beautyforashesco.co/podcast
