Praying Moms of Estranged Children - Pray, Trust in God, Prodigal, Estrangement, God’s Peace, Scriptures

Are you carrying emotional burdens from your estrangement that are making it harder to trust God? Do old hurts, regrets, or worries about the future keep stealing your peace? Do you feel responsible for fixing your prodigal or estranged child?

Estrangement is already painful enough without carrying burdens God never intended for you to carry. In this episode, we'll uncover some of the things that are keeping you emotionally weighed down and preventing you from healing and experiencing God's peace. You'll learn what you can begin letting go of while you continue to love your child, pray for restoration, and trust in God with the parts of your story you cannot control.

Sometimes when you've carried something for so long, it's hard to know how to put it down. If you need someone to walk alongside you in your estrangement journey, I'd love to support you in a Peaceful Mom Coaching Session. We'll talk through what's weighing most heavily on your heart and identify a practical next step to help you move forward with renewed hope and God’s peace.

Estrangement can make you second-guess yourself in ways you never expected. You may find yourself walking on eggshells, trying harder to preserve the relationship, or wondering whether your child's decision to distance themselves means you somehow failed as a mother.

In this episode, we're exploring the connection between rejection and self-worth—and why separating the two can bring you tremendous freedom. You'll learn how to stop measuring your value by your child's willingness to have a relationship with you and begin seeing yourself through God's eyes instead.

If you're praying for your prodigal, or trying to heal from the pain of your estranged relationship, this conversation will help you trust in God and move toward God's peace without allowing your estrangement to define who you are.

I pray this episode blesses you! If you're struggling with your estrangement, I'm here to support you. You can schedule your 1:1 Peaceful Mom Coaching Session by going to: https://bit.ly/peacefulmom

When your estranged child stops responding, the silence can feel overwhelming. Every unanswered text, voicemail, or birthday message can leave you wondering what to do next—and how to keep trusting God when nothing seems to be changing.

In this episode, I share how the Lord taught me to use the painful season of silence differently. Instead of letting unanswered communication consume my thoughts, I learned how to pray with greater purpose by focusing on what I was trusting God to do rather than on what I was currently seeing.

If you're longing for God's peace while you wait for restoration in your family, this episode will give you a Scripture-based approach to praying for your prodigal child with greater confidence as you continue to trust in God.

You'll walk away with an action plan to help you align your prayers with God's promises and continue moving forward in faith—even when your estranged child remains silent.

I pray this blesses you! If you're ready for personalized encouragement and clarity during your estrangement journey, I'm here to support you. You can schedule your 1:1 Peaceful Mom Coaching Session by going to:

In this episode, I’m joined by guest Michelle Pexa. Together, we talk about how to rebuild healthier, more respectful communication with your estranged child when connection has been strained or broken.

If you want to reopen communication in a thoughtful, intentional way—without repeating old patterns—this conversation will give you tools to begin moving toward more peaceful interactions.

You’ll learn how to shift the way you communicate to reduce defensiveness, ask better questions that invite openness, and begin practicing skills that prepare the way for future reconciliation.

We also share a little-known professional strategy you can use to reset the foundation of communication when past conversations have led to tension, misunderstandings, or emotional shutdowns.

These strategies will help you stay grounded and calm in difficult relational dynamics as you continue to pray, trust in God, and walk in God’s peace—even when communication with your prodigal child is strained, minimal, or currently paused due to estrangement.

If you would like personalized support as you process communication challenges with your estranged adult child, I’d love to walk alongside you. My Peaceful Parenting Session is a one-on-one coaching call where we talk through your specific situation, and identify clear next steps you can begin using right away to move forward with more peace and clarity.  👉 Book your session here: bit.ly/faithandpeace

In this conversation, we're talking about why so many Christian moms struggle to let go when their adult children make difficult choices, and how to lovingly support them without trying to manage their lives.

Whether you're navigating estrangement or simply trying to build a healthier relationship with your adult child, this episode will give you the clarity and encouragement you need to love your child well while releasing the outcomes to God.

Because loving your child and controlling their choices are two very different things. And sometimes, the most loving thing we can do is place them back into God's hands.

Many Christian moms believe God can restore estranged relationships, soften prodigals’ hearts, and answer prayers. The harder question is whether we can keep trusting Him when we don't know when—or how—those answers will come.

In this episode, Sarah discusses some of the reasons waiting on God can feel so difficult—and what helps us continue trusting Him when His timeline looks very different from our own.

If you want to stop feeling discouraged by the waiting, this conversation will encourage you, strengthen your trust in God, and help you find more of God's peace while you wait.

You'll learn how to recognize some of the reasons waiting feels difficult, how to recognize when you're trying to manage outcomes that belong to Him, and what it looks like to trust in God when His timing doesn't make sense.

These simple shifts will help you release the pressure of trying to fix everything yourself while you wait for Him to work in your prodigal or estranged child's life.

Whether you're praying for salvation, reconciliation after estrangement, or simply waiting for a breakthrough, this episode will encourage you to trust God more deeply and surrender what you cannot control.

If your relationship with your adult child is creating a lot of stress and you need God’s peace to settle your heart, consider booking a Peaceful Parenting Session with Sarah at bit.ly/faithandpeace.
