Have you ever felt like you are carrying something really heavy and you're doing it all by yourself?  Nobody knows what it's costing you. Maybe you're so worn down that fighting for even one more day sounds impossible.

If that's where you are, this episode will help! Rachel walks through one of Scripture's most dramatic moments. The Israelites are trapped between Pharaoh's army and the Red Sea, with no weapons and no way out. And Moses says this over them: "The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still."

But being still doesn't mean doing nothing. One verse later, God tells them to get up and walk. This episode untangles what that means for the woman who can't afford to stop functioning yet is exhausted from feeling as though the outcome rests on her shoulders. Rachel also shares a very recent answered prayer story, one that happened just last week, and one she didn't expect to be telling.

You'll discover:
Why "be still" doesn't mean passivity, and what the Hebrew actually carries
What Moses was really saying to a crowd of frightened people with no weapons
How to pray when you're out of strength and your prayer can only be four words
The difference between striving and obeying, and why it matters when you're depleted
How God often fights for us through people we can't see yet

Whatever you're up against this week, you're not as alone in it as it feels.

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.
