When life gets difficult, prayer can sometimes feel difficult too. We keep praying, but we may begin to wonder if God hears us, if our prayers are working, or if we have the strength to keep going.

In this first episode of a four-part series on prayer and perseverance, Words of Life welcomes back author, podcaster, and speaker Rachel Wojo to talk about finding strength through prayer in the middle of life's hardest battles.

Rachel shares the story behind her book Praying Through Life's Battles and explains why she wanted to create short, focused encouragement for people who are walking through difficult seasons and may not have the energy or ability to sit and read for long periods of time.

Drawing from her own experience of caring for her daughter Taylor through years of illness and loss, Rachel talks honestly about anger, frustration, grief, perseverance, and what it means to bring all of those emotions directly to God. She also shares the Bible verse that became a lifelong reminder for her: "The battle is the Lord's."

If you're walking through a difficult season right now, this episode is a reminder that you don't have to face the battle alone.
