The Prayer Trap Nobody Is Talking About (It's In Your Bible)

Hearing God with Tyson

2,704 views

In this video I break down what I call the prayer trap... the thing I believe sits behind every unanswered prayer... and what changes when you let it go. We get into a story from Mark 10, a conversation I had with a sales guy on my porch, and some neuroscience that helped me understand why we miss what's already there in our prayer life.

Here's what I share:

▪️The prayer trap I believe sits behind every unanswered prayer
▪️What James and John's request in Mark 10 reveals about asking from fear instead of love
▪️A conversation on my porch that turned an unanswered prayer into an unrecognized one
▪️What a beep, a boop, and a famous gorilla experiment taught me about noticing God's presence
▪️A guided prayer to help you let go of the picture, receive, and grow in your walk with God

If something in this stirred something in you, I'd love for you to sit with it. And if you want to go deeper into this kind of spiritual growth, the Hearing God Challenge is a great next step... the link is below.

Thank you Tyson. I just experienced Jesus sitting next to me at our pool. We are laughing and He is telling a story. The sun is warm on our skin. Then I see Him bringing a Lamb home. I'm also sensing He is excited about friends of ours coming to visit tomorrow. I see Him opening the gate for them. So much peace, right now❤

Well it's a combination of divine hiddenness, ongoing sin and needing things from a fallen world to survive. So I do my best, in the condition im in, with the world as it is. Yes fear is alwaya the loudest voice in your head. That old primal emotion never goes away. It's too easy to condemn ourselves aa well.

I really needed to hear this, I recently came to the faith about 5 months ago and the first 2 months I really really felt gods love, but then I started to feel like he was no longer talking to me, and I felt fear. I was thinking to myself, what am I doing wrong, I don't understand. I did come to the conclusion that I was equating his love with how my father shows love to me, he says he loves me, but doesn't give me acknowledgement when I do things right or good. You've lifted me up, and I want to thank you.

I just now believe it isn’t time for answers or the answers is no.

The people who dont walk with the Lord and dont know Him ,always have plenty to say about Him!Its called the religious spirit!God is working behind the scenes outside of narcissistic church buildings to supernaturally raise up His end-time remnant ,to bring in a billion souls and show His Glory to an unbelieving world and church!

In the Bible, it’s often said that God only listens to the prayers of the righteous.

What does it mean when I do this and I just start crying ? 32:08

If the solution to unanswered prayer is to lower our expectations of what an answer should look like, how do we tell the difference between becoming more receptive to God and simply becoming more willing to interpret our own thoughts and feelings as God? - Jared.
