Seventeen Years of Prayer: How God Answered a Wife’s Cry for Her Husband

In this Supernatural Prayer Story, Rick sits down with Beverly Lewis to share a powerful testimony of perseverance, humility, and God’s faithfulness over a seventeen-year journey of prayer for her marriage. Beverly recounts how, after coming back to Christ early in her marriage, she carried the burden of praying for her husband to know the Lord—through seasons of discouragement, delay, and quiet disappointment.

Beverly shares a deeply personal moment of intimacy with God when the Lord spoke a simple but life-shaping word to her: “Sit down on the inside.” That instruction began a transformative journey of surrender, humility, and trust—teaching her that God’s work in prayer often begins within us before it unfolds around us.

As the story continues, Beverly recounts how God answered her long-standing prayers in a way that was far beyond what she had imagined. After years of intercession, her husband encountered the presence of God powerfully and was radically saved—leading to a transformed life, a renewed marriage, and a legacy of faith that continues decades later.

This conversation will encourage anyone who has been praying for a spouse, family member, or seemingly impossible situation. It offers hope for those in seasons of waiting, reassurance that God hears every prayer, and confidence that even delayed answers are never wasted in the hands of a loving Father.

This podcast exists to help you grow in intimacy with God, develop a prayer life that truly transforms your life, and walk daily with confidence, hope, and awareness of His presence.
