I Tested God With This Prayer | Josh Harper | 051
Coincidence or God? | Miracles, Christian Encouragement & Faith-Building PodcastShow Notes
What happens when you test God? Josh Harper never planned to pray this prayer. While on a mission trip to Niger, Africa, he was wrestling with a life-changing decision: should his family adopt a teenage girl from an orphanage?
So he asked God for a sign. Not something vague. Not “give me peace.” Something specific. He prayed that a lump on his back — one that had been unchanged for three years — would disappear if they were meant to move forward with adoption. And then… it did. But here’s where the story takes an unexpected turn. The adoption didn’t happen.
In this powerful episode of When You Look, Josh shares: • The bold prayer he never expected God to answer • A physical healing he can’t explain • The emotional journey of pursuing international adoption • Missions work in Niger, Africa • And what happens when God answers your prayer — just not the way you thought
Was it coincidence or God? Watch and decide for yourself.

Jenn Robb's 16-year-old daughter should have died that night. The doctor said there was no reason she should be alive. This Christian testimony with author and nurse practitioner, Jenn Robb, is for every parent praying for a teen in crisis. When Jenn's daughter Chloe (16) was found unresponsive on April 4th, doctors told her Chloe's blood alcohol level was four times the lethal limit. What happened next changed Jenn's faith forever. In the shower afterward, while bathing her daughter, Jenn heard God say: "As much as you love her, I love her more. You have to surrender her to me." That moment of surrender to God became the foundation of her book Warrior Mom Rising and her mission to help other parents advocate, pray, and find hope in the middle of teen anxiety, depression, self-harm, and mental health battles.
