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.

- The Pray Through It Battle Plan, free digital guide - battleprayers.com

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.

Tired of Being Sick: Praying Through Slow Healing

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."

When You May Never Know Why

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.

When Healing Doesn't Come

You've prayed about the fear. You handed it to God. And a few hours later (or even minutes) it's back, knocking at the door of your heart like it never left. If you're tired of fighting the same fear over and over, this episode is for you.

This week on Untangling Prayer, we sit with an honest question: how do I pray when fear keeps knocking? Drawing from Psalm 34:4 and 1 John 4:18, Rachel unpacks a shift that changes everything about praying through fear. Not fighting harder, but receiving God's perfect love because it is stronger than the fear itself. Plus, the true story of missionary Amy Carmichael, a little girl's prayer for blue eyes, and the surprising way God's "no" turned out to be His love all along.

You'll discover:
Why Psalm 34 says God delivers us from our fears, not always from our troubles, and why that matters
The difference between fighting fear and receiving the love that crowds it out
What 1 John 4:18 actually means when it says perfect love drives out fear
How to pray through a fear that keeps coming back instead of waiting for it to disappear
The true story of Amy Carmichael and a prayer God answered forty years later

However long fear has been knocking, His love is greater than your fear.
