When the Answer Isn’t the One You Prayed For
 - What do you do when waiting ends… and the answer breaks your heart? (E30)

from Christian Mental Health for Women | The Pert Plan™ · host Pam Litchford, LPC

What happens when the waiting ends—and the answer is the one you prayed would never come?We talk often about trusting God while we wait for healing, restoration, reconciliation, or good news. But how do we keep trusting Him after heartbreaking news arrives? How do we hold onto faith when an unanswered prayer becomes grief, fear begins whispering, and God’s goodness feels difficult to reconcile with our pain?In this deeply personal episode of The Pert Plan™, Pam shares how God prepared her heart through the lessons of Waiting Without Falling Apart before she knew how much she would need them. We’ll consider how to recognize fear’s lies, anchor our minds in biblical truth, and continue walking toward Jesus while carrying sorrow.You’ll also hear what to expect during the upcoming six-week Summer Pause series, featuring reflections from the devotional Waiting Without Falling Apart.The answer may have changed. God didn’t.Want to hold The Pert Plan in your hands? "Waiting Without Falling Apart" devotional/journal Amazon link:⁠https://a.co/d/08Qkgemc⁠Follow on Instagram @thepertplanhttps://www.instagram.com/thepertplan?igsh=ZGxvbXM0emtxOXpxFollow The Pert Plan™: Christian Mental Health for Women and share this episode with a woman who is grieving an answer she never wanted.If you’re in South Carolina and looking for more personalized support, I do offer counseling for women.
