Divine Detours: Prayer When Life Takes A Turn
Life’s unexpected transitions—job loss, relocation, relationship changes—can leave us feeling uprooted and disoriented.
In today’s episode, Rachel Wojo explores how prayer becomes our anchor when everything shifts. Drawing from Psalm 77 and her own experience of nearly losing her family home, Rachel reveals how prayer provides stability during life’s most challenging detours.
You’ll discover that while God’s footprints may not always be visible, His guidance remains constant—even when the path forward seems blocked.
Rachel shares her family’s eleventh-hour miracle when facing foreclosure, showing how persistent prayer carried them through uncertainty until God’s perfect timing brought unexpected provision.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- How to honor both endings and beginnings in your prayer life during transitions
- Ways to anchor your prayers in God’s unchanging character when everything else is changing
- The power of the “prayer of relinquishment” when you’re grasping for control
- Why God’s timing often reveals itself at the eleventh hour
- How to pray for perseverance rather than just immediate solutions

I’m so thankful for the perfect timing of this podcast. I’m facing a life threatening vasculitis episode and the path forward hasn’t been established yet. I’m still in life saving measures. Thank you for this beautiful reminder is psalm 77 that we may not know the path, but the Lord does!
Oh Rebecca! I’m so sorry for your suffering. Yes, Jesus knows! My dad’s advice to me over and over again: My Lord knows the way through the wilderness. All I have to do is follow. Praying for you right now!!
