What happens when you ask God for a sign—and He actually answers?
In this powerful episode of When You Look, Josh Harper shares an extraordinary story of faith, obedience, and surrender that began with a bold prayer in Africa. While wrestling with whether his family was truly called to adopt, Josh asked God for a clear sign—something so specific it couldn’t be explained away.
What happened next shocked him.
After living for years with a mysterious lump on his back, Josh watched it completely disappear following his prayer. But the miracle didn’t lead where he expected. The adoption didn’t happen—but God’s plan was still unfolding.
This story dives deep into:
• Asking God for confirmation and direction
• A medically unexplainable healing
• Missions work in Niger, Africa
• When obedience doesn’t lead to the outcome you wanted—but to the one God intended
• Learning that faithfulness matters more than results
If you’ve ever prayed for clarity, struggled with unanswered prayers, or wondered whether God was truly guiding your steps, this episode will challenge and encourage you.
