Have you looked at your life and wondered if God’s best went to somebody else?

In this episode of Untangling Prayer, Rachel Wojo takes on a question many women carry quietly: Have I missed my chance at the life I wanted? Some ask it because of choices they regret. Others ask it because of a diagnosis, a divorce, or a loss they never chose. Rachel opens Ephesians 1:7-10, Day 79 in Praying through Life’s Battles, and shows how God’s redemption reaches both. She also shares how years of reading medical records at a law firm prepared her, long before she knew it, to appeal medical equipment denials for her daughter Taylor.

You’ll discover:
What redemption means in Ephesians 1:7 and what it cost
Why God’s plan to redeem includes the broken things you didn’t break
How to move from “put it back” prayers to asking God what He is making from the pieces
How Isaiah 65:24 shows God preparing the answer before you ever pray

If the words “you’ve missed your chance” have been loud in your head lately, this episode is for you.

Until next time, remember: God sees you, He hears you, and He knows your needs.

Have I Missed My Chance at the Life I Wanted?

You can see the need in front of you clearly. It might be a diagnosis, a decision with a deadline, a strained relationship, or a bill you can’t cover. What you can’t see is how God is going to meet it. If that’s where you are, this episode is for you.

Rachel opens the “For the Winning” section of Praying through Life’s Battles with Genesis 22, where Abraham climbs Mount Moriah with Isaac and names the place The LORD Will Provide. It’s a name you won’t find anywhere else in Scripture. Rachel unpacks what Isaac’s question on the mountain teaches us about fear, why the Hebrew word for “provide” is tied to the word “see,” and how Abraham worshiped before the provision ever arrived. She also shares the night her family was $800 short on the mortgage and what was waiting in the mailbox the next morning.

You’ll discover:
Why Jehovah Jireh appears only once in the entire Bible, and what it reveals about God
How to pray honestly when you can see the need but not the answer
What Abraham’s words “We will worship and then we will come back” teach us about gratitude that goes first
A simple November practice called Naming Your Mountains to help you remember God’s faithfulness

God sees you, He hears you, and He knows your needs.

Hurting, and the people who love you don’t know what to say? Grief has a way of making us feel completely alone, even when we’re surrounded by people who care.

In this episode, Rachel takes us into Day 37 of Praying through Life’s Battles, “The Way He Comforts You,” and 2 Corinthians 1:3-4. She shares the Tuesday morning phone call when her mom said the word leukemia, and how praising God as her Comforter became her lifeline over the next six months. You’ll also hear the story of her friend Molly Huffman, who lost her first marriage, a baby to miscarriage, and her mom, and turned to God as her Comforter through every loss.

You’ll discover:
How to pray when the people around you can’t reach the place where it hurts
What Paul meant when he called God “the God of all comfort”
Why praise opens your heart to the comfort God is already offering
A prayer of praise you can pray today, even through tears

You don’t have to carry this alone. The God of all comfort is already moving toward you.

Does it feel like you’re under attack, and you can’t tell whether it’s the enemy or just a hard week wearing you down?

In this episode of Untangling Prayer, Rachel Wojo answers that question from Day 36 of her book, Praying through Life’s Battles. She opens 2 Thessalonians 3:3 and looks at what Paul wrote to a young, persecuted church while he was facing opposition of his own, and why his reminder that the Lord is faithful still gives us solid ground today. Rachel also tells the story of the day the guards her mission team had hired stopped on a remote African road and refused to go any farther, and what happened when she started praising God out loud right there.

You’ll discover:
Why you don’t have to figure out whether it’s the enemy before you pray
How doubt goes after God’s track record, and how praise answers it
What Paul’s words about faith and faithfulness meant to believers under pressure
A prayer of praise from Day 36 and a battle cry to carry into your week

Wherever this week’s battle is coming from, the Lord is faithful, and He is still your defender.

Until next time, remember: God sees you, He hears you, and He knows your needs.

If Jesus has already won the victory, why does life still feel like a battle you're losing?

If you're still praying about the same prodigal, the same diagnosis, or the same stack of bills, and you're starting to wonder whether something is wrong with your faith, this episode is for you.

Rachel opens October's For the Warring series with Deuteronomy 3:22, Day 31 of Praying through Life's Battles, where Moses tells Joshua that the Lord Himself will fight for him. She talks about why struggling doesn't mean God has lost and how praising Jesus becomes a weapon in the middle of the fight. She also shares how God provided for her daughter Tris's wedding through layer after layer of provision, including one opportunity He had placed on her calendar eighteen months earlier.

You'll discover:
What Moses told Joshua before the battles began, and why it still matters for yours
Why struggling isn't a sign that you've missed the victory
How Paul and Silas praised God before anything changed
A simple way to begin your prayers with praise when you don't feel like it
How God prepared provision for a family wedding long before it was needed

Whatever you're fighting today, the Lord your God Himself will fight for you.

Why do bad things happen to good people? Maybe you've asked it about your own life, or someone you love, and never gotten an answer that made sense.

This week, we sit with the harder question underneath it: how do I pray when I may never know why? Through Psalm 77, we look at what happens when God stays silent and how remembering what He's done before becomes the way we keep praying now, even in the dark.

You'll discover:
Why Scripture never hands us a tidy answer for suffering
The decision Asaph makes in Psalm 77 that changes the whole prayer
How to pray from memory instead of from panic
An honest word for any parent still waiting to see fruit they've prayed for

Is there a scar you carry that healed a long time ago and still never went away?

Rachel has one, completely healed from years ago, and still there every single day. This week's episode sits with one of the hardest questions there is: how do you keep praying when you don't see God's healing? And especially the version that's harder to say out loud, when the healing came but the mark stayed, and you don't know what to do with a God who heals you and leaves the reminder.

Rachel walks through Isaiah 61 and the word "bind up," which never promised there would be no mark, only that God would be the one holding you together while you healed. She shares her own scar as the answered prayer story, points to the risen Jesus who kept His scars and showed them to Thomas, and closes with a story of survival and slow, invisible healing from Meridith Foster's podcast, The Unfolding.

You'll discover:
Why the healing you can't see isn't proof that God left your prayer unanswered
What the word "bind up" in Isaiah 61 actually promises (and what it doesn't)
How a scar can become the very thing you use to hold someone else up
A prayer to add this week when nothing looks different afterward

The healing you can't see is still His hand, working for you right now.

Untangling Prayer with Rachel Wojo

Have you ever whispered "God, please" and wondered if it even counted as a prayer?

Untangling Prayer is for women who want to pray but feel stuck, exhausted, or at a loss for words. Each week, we dig into the hard questions—like how to pray when God feels silent or when you're too tired to try. Then we get practical. You'll walk away with real steps you can take today.

We all need the reminder that prayer matters, so every episode ends with a true story of answered prayer to remind you: God is listening, and He still answers prayer today.

I'm Rachel Wojo. I've prayed from hospital hallways and from the floor of my closet. I've been Hannah, pleading for something impossible. Prayer isn't a theory. It's my guide for both surviving and thriving.

About the host: Rachel Wojo is a Christian speaker and author who helps women pray when life is falling apart. She spent 22 years as a caregiver for her daughter Taylor, who had a terminal illness, and has walked through the loss of both her parents. Rachel is the author of Praying Through Life's Battles, a 90-day prayer devotional for anyone fighting a hard season, along with Desperate Prayers and Praying the Promises of God. She speaks at women's retreats and conferences nationwide. Find her at rachelwojo.com.
