Untangling Prayer with Rachel Wojo

How to Pray When You're Angry at God


Listen Later

Have you ever felt so broken by grief that even praying felt impossible? Or found yourself angry at God in the middle of your loss and too afraid to admit it?

In this episode, Rachel tackles one of the rawest questions in the prayer life: how do you pray when grief has made you angry at God? She walks through the book of Lamentations and the story of the widow at Zarephath in 1 Kings 17, where a grieving mother's rawest accusation leads to one of the most faith-deepening miracles in Scripture. Rachel also shares personally from the season surrounding her daughter Taylor's death and what prayer actually looked like in those early days of grief.

You'll discover:

  • Why anger at God in grief is not a sign of weak faith and what Scripture actually says about it
  • How Lamentations 3 moves from raw lament all the way to "great is Your faithfulness" without skipping the pain
  • What the widow of Zarephath's accusation teaches us about bringing our honest grief to God
  • Why Elijah prayed three times and what persistent prayer in grief looks like
  • How each miracle God does deepens your faith for the next one

If you're walking through grief right now, whether it's raw and brand new or you've been carrying it for years, this episode is a companion for the hard days.
