What battle are you carrying today?

Maybe it is an unanswered prayer, a painful loss, a strained relationship, a health concern, or a circumstance that feels far beyond your control. When life feels overwhelming, we can become so consumed by our emotions—or so busy trying to fix everything ourselves—that prayer is often one of the first things we neglect.

This week on The Love Offering Podcast, my friend Rachel Wojo joins me to talk about her new 90-day devotional, Praying Through Life’s Battles. Drawing from her experience of loving and losing her daughter, Taylor, Rachel shares how prayer has sustained her through unimaginable grief and reminded her that she never faces life’s battles alone.

In our conversation, we discuss:
Why prayer can feel difficult when we are overwhelmed
How remembering God’s faithfulness helps us resist the enemy’s lies
Practical ways to remain grounded in Scripture during hard seasons
How to make prayer a natural part of everyday life
Why persistence matters when an answer seems delayed
What it means to pray from Christ’s victory rather than merely for victory

One truth Rachel shared has stayed with me:

“The reason for prayer is not for the answers. The reason for prayer is for the relationship.”

God certainly can change our circumstances through prayer, but He also uses prayer to change us. He meets us in our weariness, reminds us of His promises, and aligns our hearts with His. He wants to give us more than an answer—He wants to be our answer.

One of the first Bible verses Rachel’s daughter Taylor learned was, “The battle is the Lord’s” (1 Samuel 17:47). Those words became a family mantra throughout Taylor’s life, and they remain a beautiful reminder for each of us today.

Whatever you are facing, you do not have to fight in your own strength. God sees you, He is with you, and the battle belongs to Him.
