Is there something in your life you've stopped praying about because it feels dead?

In this episode of Untangling Prayer, Rachel Wojo opens Ephesians 2:4-5, Day 32 of Praying through Life's Battles. The passage says God made us alive with Christ even when we were dead. Rachel looks at what it means to pray in the name of Jesus over a marriage, a dream, a friendship, or a faith that has gone cold. She also explains why the power that raised Christ is the same power at work for those who believe. Then she shares how God gave her book One More Step a second chance to reach hurting people through a new video Bible study on RightNow Media.

You'll discover:
What Ephesians 2 teaches about God moving toward us while we're still dead
How to bring a dead situation to Jesus honestly, the way Martha did at Lazarus's tomb
Why praying in the name of Jesus puts what feels dead under His authority
A simple prayer to pray over whatever you've given up on
How God breathed new life into a book written in Rachel's hardest seasons

Whatever feels dead to you today, you can still bring it to Jesus by name.

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

Praying Over What Feels Dead in Your Life

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.

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

Tired of being sick? Not just tired from the pain, but tired of praying about it?

If you're living with chronic pain, a diagnosis you're still trying to understand, depression or anxiety that won't lift, or a recovery that's taking far longer than you thought it would, this episode is for you.

Rachel talks about how to keep praying when your body won't cooperate and you're worn out from fighting the same battle, and she shares the story of her friend Keri, who is counting small, daily answers to prayer during a long recovery from back surgery.

In this episode, you'll discover:
- Why naming your battle specifically changes the way you pray
- What 2 Corinthians 4:16 means when it says we are renewed day by day
- Why Paul calling our troubles "light and momentary" isn't a dismissal of your pain
- How to notice the small, daily answers to prayer you might be missing
- A simple prayer you can pray today for the battle in your body

Whether you were diagnosed last week or you're years into something that hasn't let up, this episode will remind you that God is at work in you, one day at a time.

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

Praying through Life's Battles is available now at battleprayers.com or wherever you buy books. Turn to Day 33, "The Way He Moves for You."
