How to Enhance Your Prayer Life
How do we hold faith when healing doesn’t come the way we expect, and what does prayer look like when outcomes remain uncertain?
In this episode of Honest Christian Conversations, I sit down with Dr. David Chotka to explore prayer, healing, and the often uncomfortable tension between faith, suffering, and God’s will. Drawing from decades of ministry experience, Dr. Chotka invites us into a deeper, more grounded understanding of prayer—one rooted in relationship rather than results.
Together, we reflect on how modern Christianity often equates faith with visible outcomes, and how that expectation can quietly distort our view of God. This conversation gently challenges listeners to rethink what it means to trust God when prayers seem unanswered, and healing unfolds differently than hoped.
This episode invites us to wrestle with essential questions:
-
How do we approach prayer without turning it into a transaction?
-
What does faithful trust look like when miracles don’t happen on our timeline?
-
How can humility and surrender reshape the way we think about healing?
Rather than offering formulas or guarantees, this conversation points us back to Scripture, reverence, and a Spirit-led faith that remains steady—even in uncertainty.

Ana is the host of the Honest Christian Conversations podcast and a prodigal saved by God’s unending grace.
She grew up in a legalistic Christian home where asking questions often felt wrong. In her early twenties, overwhelmed by confusion and hurt, she walked away from her faith. Yet even then, God’s love never stopped pursuing her. At thirty years old—and after a painful second divorce—He brought her back to himself, and she has never looked back.
As Ana returned to Christ, she began rebuilding her faith from the ground up and asked the questions she once feared to ask. Along that journey, she discovered inconsistencies, misplaced teachings, and even lies woven into the Christianity she grew up with. Instead of destroying her faith, this only deepened it. Out of that discovery, she founded Honest Christian Conversations. Ana's heart is to help others navigate the same tension she once lived with: wanting to know the real Jesus while sorting through the noise of deceptive teachings, spiritual manipulation, and “wolves in sheep’s clothing.”
Everything she creates flows from gratitude for the God who rescued her, restored her, and continues to shape her into who He intended her to be.
