352: When You Don’t Know How to Pray After Child Loss


Listen Later

After the death of a child, many grieving parents find themselves struggling to pray. The pain can feel too overwhelming, the questions too deep, and the words impossible to find. If you have ever sat in silence, wondering what to say to God or whether He even hears your broken heart, you are not alone.

In this episode, Laura shares the comforting truth that when we don’t know how to pray after child loss, Jesus Himself is praying for us. Drawing from Hebrews 7:25 and other powerful Scriptures, this hope-filled message reminds bereaved parents that they are never forgotten, never abandoned, and never carrying their grief alone. Even in the darkest moments, Jesus continues to intercede on our behalf, holding us through His prayers and inviting us to rest in His love.

Today’s podcast is sponsored by Mary Anne Wofford, in loving memory of Jeremiah Richard Wofford.
