Untangling Prayer with Rachel Wojo

Battling Mental Overload in Prayer


Listen Later

Does your mind feel too cluttered for prayer? When mental exhaustion sets in, connecting with God can seem impossible—not because you don't want to pray, but because you can't find the mental space.

In today's episode, Rachel Wojo explores how to pray when your mind is overwhelmed. You'll discover that God doesn't require your mental clarity to hear your heart's cry, and how He meets you in your exhaustion, not despite it.

Through personal experience and biblical wisdom from Psalm 62, Rachel shares practical ways to find sacred rest for your soul and reconnect with God even in your most mentally taxing seasons.

Rachel also shares the powerful story of how God answered her parents' simple, repeated prayer during her cornea transplant—a reminder that even our most overwhelmed prayers reach God's ears.

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • How to identify which type of exhaustion you're experiencing—physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual
  • Why "prayer as presence" is more powerful than "prayer as performance" 
  • Practical boundaries to protect your mental space for meaningful prayer
  • How mental overload doesn't disqualify your prayers—it might make them more authentic
  • Why your simplest prayer might be your most powerful one

Finding it hard to pray when your mind is racing? My book, Desperate Prayers: Embracing the Power of Prayer in Life's Darkest Moments, offers comfort and guidance for connecting with God even in mentally overwhelming seasons.
