I Tested God With This Prayer | Josh Harper | 051

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.
