Untangling Prayer with Rachel Wojo

If Jesus has already won the victory, why does life still feel like a battle you're losing?
If you're still praying about the same prodigal, the same diagnosis, or the same stack of bills, and you're starting to wonder whether something is wrong with your faith, this episode is for you.
Rachel opens October's For the Warring series with Deuteronomy 3:22, Day 31 of Praying through Life's Battles, where Moses tells Joshua that the Lord Himself will fight for him. She talks about why struggling doesn't mean God has lost and how praising Jesus becomes a weapon in the middle of the fight. She also shares how God provided for her daughter Tris's wedding through layer after layer of provision, including one opportunity He had placed on her calendar eighteen months earlier.
You'll discover:
What Moses told Joshua before the battles began, and why it still matters for yours
Why struggling isn't a sign that you've missed the victory
How Paul and Silas praised God before anything changed
A simple way to begin your prayers with praise when you don't feel like it
How God prepared provision for a family wedding long before it was needed
Whatever you're fighting today, the Lord your God Himself will fight for you.
Until next time, remember: God sees you, He hears you, and He knows your needs.

- What 2 Corinthians 4:16 means when it says we are renewed day by day
- Why Paul calling our troubles "light and momentary" isn't a dismissal of your pain

Why do bad things happen to good people? Maybe you've asked it about your own life, or someone you love, and never gotten an answer that made sense.
This week, we sit with the harder question underneath it: how do I pray when I may never know why? Through Psalm 77, we look at what happens when God stays silent and how remembering what He's done before becomes the way we keep praying now, even in the dark.
You'll discover:
Why Scripture never hands us a tidy answer for suffering
The decision Asaph makes in Psalm 77 that changes the whole prayer
How to pray from memory instead of from panic
An honest word for any parent still waiting to see fruit they've prayed for

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.
