When To Stop Praying

July 5, 2026
Episode Description from the Publisher

Feeling worn out from praying the same prayers and not seeing anything change? In this episode of the Why Do Christians podcast, Mark, Pastor Josh, and Pastor Burt ask: When should I stop praying… or should I ever?They talk about what to do when God feels silent, why Jesus tells us to keep asking, seeking, and knocking, and how to tell the difference between trusting God’s will and lowering your expectations so you don’t get hurt.Using stories from Scripture like Jesus in Gethsemane, Paul’s thorn in the flesh, and Moses begging to enter the Promised Land. They explore when it’s right to keep praying, when it’s time to shift your prayers, and why shame and “I didn’t pray hard enough” guilt are not God’s voice.If you’ve ever wondered whether God cares about your unanswered prayers, this conversation is for you.The Bridge Podcast Network is made possible by generous support from The Boardwalk Plaza Hotel and Victoria’s Restaurant on the boardwalk in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware - Open 7 days a week, year-round - Learn more at https://boardwalkplaza.comFeedback, or Show Ideas?
