Untangling Prayer with Rachel Wojo

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.

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.

Is there a part of your story you've stopped praying about? Maybe you don't doubt that God can do anything. You've just decided this particular thing is too far gone.
This week on Untangling Prayer, Rachel sits with a hard question: is it ever too late for God to redeem the chapter you've already given up on?
The answer starts in Ephesians 1:7, where Paul roots our redemption in the blood of Christ and the riches of God's grace. That same grace doesn't stop at forgiving your sin. It reaches into the broken places you've written off. Rachel shares the redemption story that makes this real for her and celebrates the launch of her new book.
You'll discover:
Why we stop praying about the things we've decided are finished
What Ephesians 1:7 says about where redemption comes from
How to bring a given-up-on part of your story back to God
The 26-year answer to prayer God built out of two broken stories

Some seasons don't need a pep talk. When you're caring for someone who's slipping away, or worn down by a fight that won't end, being told to "stay positive" can feel like the loneliest thing in the world.
This week's episode sits with a real email from a listener named Lucy, whose husband has Alzheimer's, and with the honest question underneath it: how do you stay positive when you're in the thick of the battle? Anchored in two of the smallest, strongest words in Scripture, Romans 8:3's "God did," Rachel walks through why the goal was never to feel upbeat, but to know God is with you, and why the victory over death has already been won even when restoration is still waiting on heaven.
You'll discover:
Why "stay positive" is the wrong thing to say to someone in deep grief, and what actually holds a person up instead
What Paul means when he says the law was powerless but "God did," and why those two words change how you pray
The difference between a season being "worth it" and not being "wasted," and why that difference matters
How God redeems one grace-filled moment at a time, even while full restoration waits for heaven
Wherever you are in your own battle today, you are not failing at faith by finding it hard. You're living it.

Are you afraid of what could still go wrong? A lot of us carry a fear about the future, and it reshapes how we pray. We start asking God for the small things because we're scared to hand Him the big one, the one that would wreck us if the answer came back no.
In this episode, we sit in Romans 8:37-38, two verses that don't promise a future with no hard things in it. They promise something you need a lot more. Paul goes corner by corner through every place fear can hide, your body, the things you can't see, time itself, every direction, and in each one he leaves a mark that says God's love already got here first. Not one thing in all creation can separate you from it, including the future you're afraid of. Rachel also shares a moment from a recent interview at Daystar, where God used her words about her daughter Taylor to reach the man interviewing her in a grief she had no idea he was carrying.
You'll discover:
Why fear about the future doesn't mean your faith is failing
How to pray Romans 8 by finding exactly where your fear lives on Paul's list
What "more than conquerors" really means (and what it doesn't)
How God's love moves straight through the thing you're most afraid of
You are not praying to a God who's limited by what scares you. You're praying to the One whose love already reached the place you don't want to go.
