Ep. 343 What Is God Doing?!

by | Jun 17, 2026 | Catholic Faith

Have you ever wondered why God seems silent when you’re praying for something good and necessary? Or why an answer to prayer feels delayed despite your faith and perseverance?

In this episode, I share a memorable homily that offers a powerful lesson about prayer, discernment, and trusting God’s timing. Through a simple story about a traveler searching for water in the desert, we’ll reflect on how God sometimes places an unexpected step in front of us before leading us to the blessing we’re seeking.

Together, we’ll explore how unforgiveness, unhealthy mindsets, unresolved wounds, or overlooked invitations from God may be standing in the way of receiving what we desire most. I’ll also discuss the importance of prayer, the Eucharist, vocation discernment, and developing a deeper relationship with Christ as we seek God’s will for our lives.

If you’ve been praying for a spouse, a vocation, healing, direction, or any heartfelt intention, I invite you to watch and reflect with me. What “necktie” might God be asking you to receive before opening the next door?

I’d love to hear your thoughts: Has God ever used an unexpected detour to lead you to a greater blessing? Please leave a comment.
