Praying When Your Child's Choices Break Your Heart


Hello Reader,

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.

In this episode, you'll discover:

  • 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

Hello Reader, You sit down to pray, but your mind immediately starts racing about grocery lists, work deadlines, and that conversation you need to have with your teenager. Sound familiar? I used to think prayer had to sound polished and perfect. Then I discovered something that changed everything: What if prayer could be as simple as writing a love letter? When I started sharing this approach, readers like Lisa wrote: "When I started praying God's promises back to Him, everything changed. His...

Hello Reader, Do you ever read God's promises in Scripture and think, "That sounds amazing, but there's no way that could happen in my situation"? When life gets overwhelming, God's promises can feel like beautiful theory rather than practical reality. We want to believe them, but our circumstances seem to scream louder than His Word. If you've ever struggled to trust God's promises when they feel impossible, this episode will help you build unshakeable faith through the power of remembrance....

Hello Reader, One day this spring my husband left for his run at 7:13pm. I know this because I glanced at the kitchen clock when he kissed me goodbye, promising he'd be back in 45 minutes.
