## Resource

There are moments when prayer feels honest, urgent, and unanswered. You ask God for help, healing, clarity, or change, and the silence can feel heavy. In those times, it is easy to wonder whether God is listening, whether you are praying the right way, or why the answer has not come. James speaks directly to the tension of asking God while facing trials, reminding us that wavering, doubt, and weariness are real struggles, but not the end of the story. He calls us toward a steady trust in God’s character, an honest confession of our needs, and a faith that remains anchored even when answers seem delayed. Keep asking, keep trusting, keep praying. Recorded April 19th, 2026Message by Pastor Tim WardScripture: James 1:2-8, 5:13-16
