When Prayer Feels Powerless: Signs You May Need Therapy
Summary of the Episode:

Have you ever cried out to God in prayer and felt only silence? When grief collides with anxiety, numbness, or emotional burnout, it can feel like prayer isn’t “working.” In this episode, I share my own story of a season when prayer felt powerless and how God used therapy as an unexpected answer to those prayers.

Together, we’ll walk through three clear signs that your grief may require not just prayer, but also therapy: emotional burnout, numbness, and panic attacks. Using Scripture and practical examples, I’ll show you how therapy doesn’t replace prayer—it partners with it, giving you strength and tools to keep leaning into God’s presence.

Friend, you are not a bad Christian if prayer feels heavy or distant right now. This conversation will remind you that God is still listening, and sometimes His provision comes through wise counsel and professional support on your journey of healing after losing a loved one.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• How prayer and therapy can work together in your grief and healing journey.


• Biblical encouragement that shows you’re not alone when you feel anxious, numb, or burned out.


• Practical signs it may be time to seek therapy alongside prayer.

Key Takeaways:

• Prayer is always powerful, but sometimes God answers by leading you to counseling and support.


• Therapy doesn’t weaken your faith—it equips you with tools to process grief and loss and stay close to God.


• You don’t have to walk through parent loss or anxiety alone—God provides both His presence and people to help carry the weight.
