Are you struggling to pray because you feel guilty or ashamed about doubting God?
Do you wonder if your honest emotions make you a “bad Christian” as you navigate parenting an autistic or medically complex child?
Are you ready to rediscover how to pray, restore your faith, and feel God’s love in the midst of life’s hardest moments?
If you’ve ever sat in the dark after a long day — therapies, meltdowns, medical decisions, exhaustion — and whispered, “God… are You even listening?” this episode is for you.
So many Christian autism moms believe their doubt makes them a “bad Christian.” That if prayer feels hard, or distant, or empty… it must mean something is wrong with them. But that isn’t the truth. God is love, and love welcomes honesty — not perfection.
In this episode, we talk about how to approach God with real, raw emotion and how honest prayer can restore your faith, strengthen your heart, and lead you into healing as a mother walking a difficult path.
You’ll hear a deeply personal story of doubt, burnout, and spiritual exhaustion — and the moment God met me in the middle of it. Then we walk through a practical, Scripture-based framework for praying with honesty, courage, and connection again.
In this episode, we explore: • Why doubt does not make you a bad Christian • How Jesus modeled honest, painful, unfiltered prayer • How to pray when you feel nothing • Why God invites your anger, sadness, and questions • The power of showing up in prayer even when words don’t come • Scriptures that anchor your heart when motherhood feels heavy • How to rebuild your prayer life through honesty, not guilt
Key Scriptures: 1 John 4:8 Psalm 13:1 Psalm 10:1 Romans 8:26 1 Peter 5:7 Psalm 34:18 Matthew 11:28 Matthew 27:46
Who this episode is for: Christian autism moms who feel disconnected from God, overwhelmed by prayer, spiritually exhausted, or afraid their doubt means they’re failing. If you need reassurance that God still loves you, sees you, and welcomes your unfiltered heart — this will speak to you.
