Don't forget to grab your free scripture journal at PrayingChristianWomen.com/journal today!Watching a child fade before your eyes—losing skills one by one, whispering desperate pleas for healing that seem to echo unanswered—can shatter a mother's faith and leave you grasping for any thread of hope. But what if those midnight cries become the very doorway to deeper intimacy with God, reshaping your perspective from "why me?" to "show me Your glory"? This week on the Praying Christian Women podcast, join us for a soul-stirring conversation with author, speaker, and podcast host Rachel Wojo, diving into her raw, redemptive books: Desperate Prayers: Embracing the Power of Prayer in Life's Darkest Moments and the brand-new companion, Praying the Promises of God: A 52-Week Guided Prayer Journal. Drawing from Rachel's gut-wrenching journey raising her daughter Taylor through the slow theft of Sanfilippo Syndrome—a rare genetic disorder that stole her voice, steps, and spark—Rachel opens up about honoring Taylor's bubbly spirit, a divorce that upended her white-picket dreams, and the miracle of her husband's last-minute adoption that etched God's fatherly love into their forever story. Blending raw grief with gospel truth, she unpacks life-altering gems like shifting from "Why, God?" to "Reveal Yourself," spotting miracles in unexpected packages, and clinging to three-word lifeline prayers like "God, hold me" when words fail—reminding us the Holy Spirit intercedes with unutterable groans. This episode equips hurting souls with Scripture-rooted hope, gentle mindset pivots to spot God's work in the fog, and practical ways to pray boldly through pain while leaving room for His sovereignty. You won't want to miss her testimony and her grace-soaked exchange that could reignite your prayer life amid the unthinkable.Grab Desperate Prayers and Praying the Promises of God anywhere books are sold now!
