A Faithful God Podcast with Tammy Rotzoll

Have you ever wondered how to pray when it feels like God isn't answering? Unanswered prayer can quietly wear you down.

You pray honestly. You trust God. And yet nothing seems to change. Over time, prayer starts to feel confusing, discouraging, and heavy; leaving — most women wondering what they're doing wrong.

In this Christian podcast, we're digging into why unanswered prayer feels so personal — and the small, biblical shift that changes how prayer actually works. This episode isn't about praying harder, finding the right words, or pretending you don't have real wants and desires of your own.

It's about understanding how to pray, using the 1% prayer shift Jesus modeled in the Garden of Gethsemane — a shift most women were never taught — and how it changes prayer from frustration to alignment; from uncertainty to trust in God.

In this short Christian podcast, you'll discover...

✅ Why unanswered prayer hurts more than we expect

✅ The Scripture many women cling to, but often misunderstand

✅ How Jesus prayed when His deepest desire wasn't removed

✅ What surrendering your desires really means in prayer

✅ What God is actually looking for when you come to Him

If prayer has felt discouraging or inconsistent, this episode offers Christian encouragement on how to pray, rooted in Scripture — not pressure, guilt, or performance.

If you've ever sat down to pray and immediately felt distracted, blank, or unsure what to say… you're not broken. And you're definitely not alone.
