Life's unexpected transitions—job loss, relocation, relationship changes—can leave us feeling uprooted and disoriented.

In today's episode, Rachel Wojo explores how prayer becomes our anchor when everything shifts. Drawing from Psalm 77 and her own experience of nearly losing her family home, Rachel reveals how prayer provides stability during life's most challenging detours.

You'll discover that while God's footprints may not always be visible, His guidance remains constant—even when the path forward seems blocked.

Rachel shares her family's eleventh-hour miracle when facing foreclosure, showing how persistent prayer carried them through uncertainty until God's perfect timing brought unexpected provision.

n this episode, you'll learn:

  • How to honor both endings and beginnings in your prayer life during transitions
  • Ways to anchor your prayers in God's unchanging character when everything else is changing
  • The power of the "prayer of relinquishment" when you're grasping for control
  • Why God's timing often reveals itself at the eleventh hour
  • How to pray for perseverance rather than just immediate solutions
