319 | How to Pray for Healing After Abortion When You Feel Like You Don't Deserve It

Do you sit down to pray and feel completely lost for words? You know prayer matters, but you don't know where to start. Or maybe you do pray regularly — and it feels like your words hit the ceiling. God feels silent. Your prayers feel unanswered. And the pain underneath it all feels too deep and too shameful to bring to Him. If that's you, friend, you're not alone. In this episode, we're talking about how to pray for healing after abortion — even when you feel like you don't deserve to. Because here's the truth: healing is available to you. Not because you've earned it, but because grace was never about earning it in the first place. I get vulnerable about my own prayer life over the last six months — the seasons where prayer felt dry, hard, and honestly kind of hopeless — and how Romans 8:26-27 met me right there: "In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God's people in accordance with the will of God." Then I walk you through a simple, biblical prayer framework you can start using today — five steps to help you reconnect with God in your abortion healing journey, even when you don't have the words.  Grab a notebook — you're going to need it for this one!   Resources Mentioned:  True North Church 7/26 Service Brick Device (not an affiliate link, I just love it!)   ✨ Want to work 1:1 with me?
