“How Many Prayers” feels like Eylsia opening her chest and letting the world listen to what’s been sitting there for a long time. It’s soul, pop, and spiritual energy woven together into something that feels deeply human, the kind of song you put on when you’re trying to make sense of your own thoughts, your own faith, your own moments of “why isn’t anything changing?”

From the first line, “How many dreams must go unanswered?” the track gets right to the emotional point. There’s no hiding behind metaphors or poetic smoke screens. She asks the questions people usually keep to themselves, the ones whispered at 2AM, the ones you think only you struggle with. That honesty becomes the core of the song.
The message behind the track is even more striking. Eylsia created this from a place of asking why her prayers weren’t being answered, only to realize later that they were, just not in the way she expected. Now the song almost doubles as a testimony, a reminder that answered prayers sometimes show up disguised as people, new chapters, unexpected blessings. It’s personal, but it’s also universal. Anyone who’s ever begged the heavens for a sign will hear themselves in this.

Lines like “Am I asking too much to be happy?” and “Does the Lord have some other plans for me?”
cut deep because they’re so familiar. But the vibe never feels heavy. Instead, there’s this quiet lift that grows through the chorus, like she’s singing from the other side of the storm, not the middle of it.
“How Many Prayers” is one of those rare moments where vulnerability and reassurance sit side by side. It’s rooted in questioning, yet shaped by gratitude. And with Eylsia openly crediting the people who helped turn her prayers into reality, the track hits even harder. It sounds like a healing moment captured in real time, and shared so everyone else who’s been in that same quiet struggle can feel a little less alone.
