In the hardest moments of life, do you ever wonder if God is listening to your cries for help? When you are feeling hopeless, what do you say to God? Rachel Wojo understands what it’s like to pray without receiving the answers you’re longing for. Five years into her marriage, she learned her pastor husband had been having a long-term affair. She then learned her daughter had a devastating diagnosis that would likely cut her life short. In these anguished moments, Rachel’s faith shifted. She was changed from a girl who checked boxes of religious activity, to one who was desperately crying for help from a God who hears. The answers she received were even greater than what she’d hoped for. Rachel Wojo is a speaker, podcaster, and the author of Desperate Prayers. She writes at her popular blog, RachelWojo.com.
