Episode 252. When You Keep Praying but Don’t Hear Answers
Jul 20, 2026
If you've been praying and the answer is just...silence, you're not alone. A lot of LDS women are doing everything right on the outside but quietly feeling disconnected from God. And the hardest part? They feel guilty even admitting it. Like maybe if they had more faith, they'd feel something.
In this episode, Niki talks about the real reasons prayer can start to feel difficult and why that disconnect has way less to do with worthiness than most people think.
Plus: Niki's new 10-day prayer practice to help you start reconnecting through simple, intentional moments.
