Are You Waiting on God? When Prayers Go Unanswered: 3 Anchors to Build Your Faith

Are You Waiting on God? When Prayers Go Unanswered: 3 Anchors to Build Your Faith

Author: Kim Dolan Leto | Bestselling Author, Christian Speaker & Podcast Host May 12, 2026 Duration: 23:31

Are you waiting on God to answer your prayer? The one you've brought to Him over and over? Friend — this episode is for you. Think of that unanswered prayer right now.

Maybe you've been believing for healing. For a marriage to be restored. For a health and fitness goal to be reached. For a prodigal child to come home. For a financial breakthrough that hasn't shown up yet. For a baby. For a door that just will not open no matter how hard you knock.

And if you're honest — the waiting is starting to mess with you. Not just your peace. Your faith.

Friend, stay right here.

These 3 anchors are going to build your faith, quiet your doubts, and help you stand on the promises of God — because that mountain of your unanswered prayer? It is going to move.

In This Episode:

  • What story are you telling yourself — and are you in agreement with God or the enemy?
  • Why God could be writing a brand new story but you're still reliving the same old chapter
  • What it really means to seek God daily in the storm — and the one question that will shift your entire posture in the waiting
  • What to do when your faith is tested — the exact scriptures, worship songs, and daily practices that keep you standing
  • Why trust means the pain you are feeling has a purpose — even when nothing makes sense
  • The difference between waiting for the answer and waiting on God — and why it changes everything
  • A practical Faith-filled Action Plan for each anchor so you leave today equipped, not just encouraged

Scriptures Mentioned:

  • Mark 11:22-24 — Have faith in God / speak to the mountain / believe that you receive
  • Romans 8:37 — More than conquerors
  • Psalm 139:23-24 — Search me O God and know my heart
  • Psalm 51:10-12 — Create in me a clean heart and renew a steadfast spirit
  • Proverbs 23:7 — As a man thinks in his heart so is he
  • Hebrews 11:6 — God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him
  • Isaiah 40:31 — Those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength
  • Habakkuk 2:2-3 — Write the vision, make it plain / the vision is for an appointed time
  • Isaiah 41:10 — Fear not for I am with you
  • Job 23:10 — He knows the way that I take / I shall come forth as gold
  • Proverbs 3:5-6 — Trust in the Lord with all your heart / He shall direct your paths
