In this episode of the Hope + Help Podcast, host Christine Chappell interviews Ste Casey about his book, I Prayed and Nothing Changed: What God is Up to in the Silence. Some of the questions addressed in this interview are: • What makes unanswered prayer a "strange double sorrow" for believers? • Why is it important to "fight for sight" in seasons where God seems unresponsive to our prayers? • How does Paul's testimony in 2 Corinthians 12 help us to process the fact that God is still good even when "he gives pain to those he loves"? • In what ways might unanswered prayer be God's way of keeping us from "soul-destroying self sufficiency"? • What are some of the voices we hear in our suffering and how might they negatively influence the way we interpret God’s apparent silence? • How might asking a "magic-button question" help biblical counselors to engage and encourage those living with unanswered prayer? • How might we engage a fatalistic attitude toward prayer?
