Praying When You Don't Know What Your Child Needs

Watching your child struggle and not knowing what they need? You're not alone. Whether your kid is two or twenty-two, there are seasons where you can tell something is off but you can't fix it, can't name it, and don't know how to pray about it. In this episode, Rachel explores how to pray for your kids when you don't know what to ask for, anchored in Psalm 139 and 1 John 5. She shares a personal story about her daughter Tris going through her keep boxes ahead of her fall wedding, and what those old school notes revealed about a slow, faithful answer to years of prayer. You'll discover: Why not knowing what your child needs doesn't disqualify you from praying for them What Psalm 139:13–16 says about how well God already knows your child The 1 John 5:14–15 prayer you can pray when you have no other words How God answers prayers we didn't even know how to pray correctly Rachel's honest reflection on praying through Tris's seasons and watching God form the answer over twenty-two years If you're praying for a kid you can't read, a season you can't decode, or a need you can't name, this episode is for you. God hears you. He's already at work on an answer you can't yet see.
