Description

If you’ve ever wondered why you should keep praying when nothing seems to change—or felt like your prayers are just hitting a brick wall—this episode is for you.

When you’re married to an alcoholic, it’s easy to feel hopeless and wonder: What’s the point of praying if God is going to do what He wants anyway?

In this heartfelt episode, we’ll talk about:

  • Why prayer isn’t about controlling outcomes—but about anchoring your soul

  • How prayer shifts our focus and brings strength when circumstances don’t change

  • Why even Jesus prayed for a different outcome—and what that means for us

  • What to pray for when you don’t even have the words anymore

Friend, your prayers are not wasted. God hears the cries of your heart, even when all you can offer are tears or silence.

💛 If you’ve been weary, discouraged, or questioning whether prayer even matters—this conversation will remind you why it does.
