Woven Motherhood

Hope in Unanswered Prayer

As we wrap up Season 1 of the Woven Motherhood podcast, we have seen stories of hope when motherhood isn't straightforward. We have seen how God still meets mothers even when they have unanswered prayers for their children. But how do we reconcile a caring God with our unanswered prayers? How can we be resilient when we are told "no?" In this podcast, Rachelle addresses these questions for the struggling Christian. From her own experiences of wrestling with God with unanswered prayer, she finds peace in the "not yet." You can read more about Rachelle's story at www.rachellekeng.com.
