Thank you for this podcast! It gives me answers to give the several young people we mentor who are disappointed with God for their “Unanswered prayers”.
So thankful to have heard this podcast today while waiting to pick up my son from school. So many beautiful truths and confirmations in this episode. I am extremely grateful for the Moms In Prayer ministry and for those like Jennifer Kennedy Dean who share their heart, passion, and wisdom to Moms like me.
Wow! Never knew there’s a movement as such like this, all about our prayers and standing in gap in prayers for our children. I’m glad to be a part of this.
