In this deeply honest episode, Ash sits down with Lydia to explore the challenges of prayer, faith, and trusting God when life doesn’t make sense. Drawing on Matthew 7:7—“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you”—they unpack what it really means to ask, seek, and knock in a world where answers don’t always come as expected.
Lydia shares her personal journey through intense emotional struggles, depression, and anxiety after starting a new chapter in Australia. She reflects on the moments she felt abandoned, frustrated, and tempted to walk away from God—and how she discovered that His grace, mercy, and timing are far bigger than our understanding.
Together, Ash and Lydia explore how prayer isn’t just about getting what we want—it’s about encountering God, aligning our hearts with His will, and learning to trust Him through every dark season. This episode is an encouragement for anyone wrestling with unanswered prayers, setbacks, or seasons of doubt, reminding us that God is always present, always listening, and always faithful.
