Can you trust God when His answer is no? What about when He says yes? In part 2 of our desperate prayers conversation, Rachel Wojo, author of Desperate Prayers: Embracing the Power of Prayer in Life’s Darkest Moments, shares how she has lived through both.
After losing her adult special needs daughter, Rachel had to tell her own heart: “I did not die.” God still had a purpose for her life—even in the pain.
In This Episode, You'll Learn:✅ How to keep trusting God when prayers feel unanswered ✅ Why waiting is an invitation to deeper faith ✅ How God's provision often comes in unexpected ways
Rachel also shares a mysterious gift from God—left under the green balance beam in her backyard. And don’t miss what’s bringing her joy these days—it might just make you laugh, too!
Rachel is a public speaker, podcaster, and passionate follower of Jesus who reminds us that God is the same whether we get the outcome we want or not. And He can be trusted with our surrender.
