38 | When You Ask Instead of Push: How I learned to Trust Divine Timing through Prayer

Trust, surrender, and the quiet miracles that unfold when you stop doing life alone.

In this deeply personal solo episode, Lisa reflects on a five-month journey of prayer, patience, and learning how to truly ask—rather than tell—God what she needed. Through the emotional process of selling her Idaho home while transitioning to Hawaii, she shares how divine timing, alignment, and support showed up only when she released control. This episode is a tender reminder that we’re not meant to carry life alone, and that joy becomes available when we allow ourselves to be guided. What looked like delay was actually perfect orchestration through the power of prayer.
