Untangling Prayer with Rachel Wojo

Praying When Your Child's Choices Break Your Heart


Listen Later

When your child makes destructive choices, it can feel like your prayers are hitting a wall. In this episode, Rachel explores how to pray persistently for children who seem stuck in cycles of poor decisions. Drawing from the story of Eliezer, Abraham's servant, you'll discover how to shift from praying only for your child to change to praying for divine direction in your parenting responses.

What You'll Learn:

  • How to pray for wisdom about when to speak up and when to stay silent with your struggling child
  • Why asking God for specific guidance (like Eliezer did) can transform your approach to parenting challenges
  • How to balance consequences with grace when your child faces the results of their choices
  • Practical ways to pray expectantly for direction while releasing control of outcomes

Whether you're dealing with a teenager making risky choices or an adult child whose decisions break your heart, this episode offers hope and practical prayer strategies for the journey. 

Perfect for parents who feel overwhelmed, discouraged, or uncertain about how to love their children well through difficult seasons.
