Bonus Episode: Prayer Anxiety? Finding God in the Fear, Ambiguity and Silence
Saturday, 10 January, 2026
Do you struggle with prayer—what to say, how to say it, and whether God will respond? Does God ever feel distant or silent when you cry out to Him? In this episode, guest Rachel Britton shares why prayer often feels difficult, especially when we feel fearful, disappointed, or anxious, and she explains how simple, guided prayers can help us open our hearts wider to the Lord. (Download this episodes free companion guide here.) Together, Carol and Rachel explore what we can learn from biblical women who prayed through some of Scripture’s most painful and complicated moments: Rachel, a person of deep sorrow Leah, a person overlooked Jochebed, a person in the background Sarah, a person who doubted Their lives reveal that God hears those of us who feel unseen, afraid, or unsure. Through their stories, Rachel invites us to grow in confidence—not by having perfect words, but by remembering we are perfectly loved. Resource referenced: Pray Naturally: Finding Your Spiritual Confidence as a Woman Loved by God by Rachel Britton Reflective/Discussion Questions Which part of prayer feels hardest for you right now—finding the words, believing God hears you, or trusting Him with the outcome? Why? When you think of praying bold prayers, what emotion rises first—fear, excitement, skepticism, or hope? What might God be inviting you to explore in that? Is there a biblical woman’s story (Rachel, Leah, Jochebed) that mirrors a season you’re in? What does her journey teach you about God’s character? In what ways have fear, disappointment, or past pain shaped the way you pray—or the way you avoid praying? Rachel talks about being honest in prayer, even messy or raw. What would it look like to tell God the truth about something you’ve been holding back? Where do you sense God inviting you to trust Him more deeply—not someday, but today—as you learn to pray more naturally?
