Have you ever cried out to God in life’s darkest moments, wondering if He’s truly listening? You’re not alone. In this episode of Motherhood Unstressed, I sit down with author Rachel Wojo to discuss her powerful new book, Desperate Prayers: Embracing the Power of Prayer in Life's Darkest Moments.
Rachel takes us on a deeply personal journey, sharing her own heartbreaking experiences of loss and the desperate prayers that carried her through. Together, we explore the lives of struggling Bible characters like Hagar, Hannah, and David—people who faced unimaginable challenges yet found strength through their cries to God.
Rachel’s insights reveal simple yet profound truths: your prayers don’t have to be perfect; they just have to be honest. With her three-word prayer focus and relatable storytelling, Rachel inspires us to shift from frantic desperation to a dependent, peaceful faith.
Whether your prayers feel more like last-minute cries or heartfelt conversations, this episode is a must-listen. You’ll leave feeling encouraged, equipped, and reassured that your voice is heard—even in life’s pitch-black moments.
