Have you ever prayed for something—clarity, healing, change—and then realized the answer you got was not what you expected… or wanted? Maybe it stretched you, humbled you, or forced you to face something uncomfortable. In this episode of Imagine Yourself, Lanée Blaise and Sandy Kovach get honest about those surprising moments when God answers our prayers in the exact way we need, not the way we asked.

Sometimes the lesson comes wrapped in irony. Sometimes it stings. But often, on the other side, we find healing, clarity, and peace.

Inside the Episode

• God’s answers don’t always match our expectations. Prayer isn’t a wish list—it’s a relationship that shapes us.
• Uncomfortable experiences can reveal what needs to change inside us. Sandy shares how her own prayer about judgment led to a very unexpected (and humbling) answer.
• Obedience and distraction are real struggles. Lanée opens up about moments when God’s answer required more trust than she was ready for.
• Silence creates space for clarity. Sometimes the most productive thing we can do is put the phone down and sit quietly in God’s presence.

If you’ve ever felt frustrated or discouraged by unanswered prayers—or prayers answered in unwanted ways—this episode offers encouragement, hope, and a reminder that God sees the bigger picture.
