What happens when God stops pointing out what needs to change… and instead asks you a question? In this deeply personal episode of Spoonfuls of Honey, Hala shares a powerful week of encountering God through listening prayer, fasting, and surrender—and the moment everything shifted. After sensing God invite her into a fast, Hala experienced a vivid image of her heart being cleansed—revealing hidden areas that were keeping her stuck.
