Untangling Prayer with Rachel Wojo

Prayer that Holds Space for Pain


Listen Later

"Father, let this cup pass from me." 

When pain leaves you speechless, how do you speak to God?

What happens when your prayers for relief go unanswered?

Drawing from Jesus' prayer in Gethsemane and her own experience with her daughter Taylor's illness, Rachel offers profound insights on bringing our raw emotions before God.

Discover how Jesus modeled honest prayer that didn't bypass suffering but transformed it. Rachel examines what it means to pray "take this cup from me" while still surrendering to God's purposes. Learn how to hold space for both honesty and trust when pain feels unbearable.

Drawing from Luke 22 and her personal Gethsemane moment, Rachel reveals practical ways to maintain connection with God even when His answers aren't what we hoped for.

  • Find freedom from the pressure to pray "correctly" during difficult seasons
  • Learn how to bring your unfiltered emotions to God without sacrificing faith
  • Discover how being heard by God matters more than getting the answer you want
  • Gain perspective from Rachel's testimony of finding God's presence in her deepest grief
