S1 E18 | What Desperate Prayers Look Like (& How the Right Words Don’t Matter), with Rachel Wojo
Manage episode 479995717 series 3638713
In this episode, Marnie and Rachel Wojo continue with part two of their conversation by discussing her book, Desperate Prayers. In every desperate circumstance we face, we have the choice of whether to pray or not pray. To walk through it with God or without Him.
Rachel shares what choosing to walk through it with God can look like. And we don’t have to be perfect or say the right words.
Marnie and Rachel chat about how:
- We can lean into and learn from the desperate prayers of 15 Bible characters – and know that our own heartbreaks look an awful lot like theirs.
- To pray when we don’t have the words.
- Simple three-word prayers open our communication with Jesus.
- When we open ourselves up to God in prayer, we begin to hear Him in a different way.
