Publisher's summary

Read by the author.

The Bible tells us to pray continually and without ceasing, but what happens when we're waiting for God but discover He's waiting for us? In his first book, pastor and recording artist Travis Greene guides the listener to apply Biblical truths for a fulfilled life.

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? Are we planning and preparing for what we've asked for? Are we praying for our will to grow closer to His? Or do we sometimes treat him like a genie in a bottle? Using Biblical examples, Travis invites listeners to reconsider our prayers and

• navigate beyond feeling trapped to thriving in God’s purposes;
• learn to use what's left instead of focusing on what was lost;
• be willing to forgive, wait, and work as God allows; and
• believe in God's miracles while being a faithful steward of what He has already provided.

Sometimes what happens next depends on the choices made right now. And sometimes God has something else in mind for us—something we might never have imagined, or in a way we might not have imagined it! It's possible to press forward into a life filled with joy and expectation for the future! Like the widow who used the oil she had at hand, by using what God has already supplied, Travis encourages listeners that they may be closer to enjoying God's promises than they realize. Management can be a magnet for miracles.

What An Difference

I anticipated reading this book ever since you announced it at FC and it truly, truly has blessed me. After all this time, I had prayer, oftentimes, just plain wrong. Now I have a beautiful and instructional way of how I am to pray to my loving Father. I have learned I WILL trust and lean not to my own understanding and pray for and in God's will. One key thing that will resonate with me that PT said "He'll give you what TO want and not what you want". Thank you so much for your transparency. This book is a life changer. Praise God!

Not always looking for what God can do for you...But what is he calling you to do for his people.

I have to admit,I wondered would this be like every other book. I'm being completely honest. However, knowing how Pastor Travis is able to bring God's word to life in a right now message. Intrigued me a bit to want to read this book.
Well our family bought the book, My husband read half of it in just a few hours.He shared Babe...It's really Good. Now if he says Babe I knew I needed to at least give it a try.
ok, full transparency I listened the the Book. I found myself very quite, and listening intently.I love how Pastor Travis gave us the story line to each person he shared about. You can close your eyes and imagine the scene playing out infront of you. Now, I'm not going to share to much. But, I think everyone that is doing a faith walk for the first time, for a while or even feel you too old. This book will ignite a fire in you, bring questions, even provoke some hidden feelings you thought you dealt with. God is Glorify through this book and I am thank it was Birth in our generation bc so many ppl need books of transparency and practical steps now.
I hope this gave a little peak into why this book has truly benefited me and my family.

Right on Time

You opened my eyes to prayer in a way that they have never been open before. I have been praying wrong and being in the wrong frame of mind in doing so. This book will be on repeat so I can absorb this message. An amazing listen.
