Praying and waiting for God to answer can be confusing. When something—or everything—feels stuck because God doesn't seem to be answering our prayers, what next? Pastor and Grammy-nominated recording artist Travis Greene issues a challenge and asks us to examine our prayers—Are we praying for the right thing?
