Is it wrong to pray for someone who's asked you to stop?
If you're carrying the weight of praying for a prodigal child, a wayward spouse, or a friend who's walked away from faith, this episode is for you. Rachel tackles one of the hardest prayer questions: how to keep interceding when the person you love doesn't want your prayers.
In this episode, you'll discover:
- The crucial difference between praying FOR someone versus praying AT them
- Why secret intercession is sometimes the most powerful kind of prayer
- How to persist in prayer when you see no evidence it's working (even after years)
Whether you're in year one or year ten of praying for someone who's walking away, this episode will encourage your heart and strengthen your resolve to keep praying.
