#063: Answered Prayer with Kayla Parkinson
In this episode of Sunshine Cafe, Lisa welcomes back Kayla Parkinson, a coach and speaker passionate about helping others set boundaries and experience breakthroughs. Together, they dive into the power of prayer—what it looks like when prayers are answered and how to navigate the moments when they’re not.
Kayla shares personal stories of trusting God even when she couldn’t feel His presence, the power of praising Him in advance, and why obedience matters in our faith journey. If you’ve ever found yourself struggling to wait on God’s timing or wondering if He’s really listening, this conversation is for you!
Key Takeaways:
- God Is There, Even When You Can’t Feel Him – Trusting in God’s presence can be challenging, but reflecting on past blessings and times He has carried you through will remind you that He is always working.
- Praise God for What He’s Already Doing – Instead of worrying about what you can’t see, praise God in advance for the healing, the job, or the breakthrough that’s already in motion. Gratitude shifts your perspective and strengthens your faith.
- Ask and You Will Receive – Matthew 7:7 reminds us to ask in faith. Whether the answer is yes, no, or wait, trusting in His plan brings peace beyond understanding.
- God Doesn’t Need to Repeat Himself – If you feel God has spoken something to you, walk in obedience. He may confirm His message, but He doesn’t need to keep repeating Himself—your next step is to act in faith.
- Purge Before You Pray – If distractions keep you from focused prayer, start by writing down the thoughts and to-dos swirling in your mind. Clearing mental clutter can help you connect more deeply with God.
