The Hard Truth About Why Your Prayers Feel Unanswered You've been praying. For peace. For healing. For financial breakthrough. For love. But nothing seems to change. You start to wonder if God is ignoring you-or worse, that He doesn't hear you at all. Here's the truth: God has already answered. The blessings you've been begging for are already here. The problem isn't God's silence. The problem is capacity. Your life is so full of clutter-old pain, unforgiveness, toxic people, distractions, and fear-that there's no room to bring those blessings inside. In this bold and unfiltered guide, Antonio...

Born in Oakland, California, to a single mother, Antonio never met his father. At age two, his family moved into the Nickerson Gardens housing projects in Watts before relocating to South Los Angeles. His teenage years were marked by instability-violent relationships in the home, multiple relocations across California, Texas, and Kansas, and several seasons of homelessness. At just 14, he was jailed for bringing a gun to school and expelled.Refusing to give up, Antonio fought his way through adversity-attending five different high schools, summer school, and night school-ultimately graduating on time at age 17. Still homeless, he sought escape through military service. Initially enlisting in the Air Force, his path shifted when his recruiter tragically died in a car crash. Determined to move forward, he transferred his scores to the Marine Corps, signing an open contract. On July 8, 1986, he entered boot camp in San Diego-turning 18 during training. There, a commanding officer recognized potential that others had overlooked, offering him the chance at officer training and any university in the nation.His first assignment as an air traffic controller brought him to Millington, Tennessee-introducing him to the state that would become home. He later served in North Carolina and Okinawa, Japan, before returning to Memphis. After military service, Antonio became a Shelby County firefighter, rising to the rank of lieutenant. Alongside his service, he pursued his passion for music, producing artists and building community connections.Today, State Representative Antonio Parkinson is a decorated U.S. Marine veteran, retired fire lieutenant, and four-time Tennessee Legislator of the Year, now serving his eighth term in the Tennessee House of Representatives for District 98, representing Memphis and Shelby County. His legislative leadership has driven landmark reforms in criminal justice, education, and workplace protections, including:The Healthy Workplace Act, Tennessee's first law against workplace bullying.Kimberlee's Law, mandating full sentencing for aggravated rape convictions.The Neighborhood Protection Act, empowering communities to stand against crime.Beyond the legislature, Antonio is a dynamic speaker and advocate. He founded initiatives such as ABetterMemphis.com, the Block Party for Peace, and the Fresh Starts Community Baby Shower, which addresses infant mortality and supports new mothers. As former Chair of the Tennessee Black Caucus of State Legislators and Democratic Caucus Vice Chairman, he has been a powerful voice for equity, public safety, and opportunity.Antonio's life-rising from homelessness and hardship to become a respected leader-is living proof of the very message of this book: that capacity can be rebuilt, blessings can be received, and purpose can be lived out. His story resonates with anyone who has ever been told they can't, and his voice continues to inspire individuals and communities to clear the clutter, protect their capacity, and embrace their destiny.For more, visit AntonioParkinson.com or connect on social media.
