Praise for Desperate Prayers
"If you’ve found yourself in a dire situation—reeling from loss, gripped with fear, or experiencing anxiety about something or someone—your mind knows that you should turn to God, but often your heart just can’t seem to follow. However, it’s during these times of desperation that our faith can flourish as we rivet our souls to God and discover his relentless faithfulness. Rachel Wojo’s Desperate Prayers will help you to do just that. This biblical resource is saturated with scriptural examples and chock full of gut-honest and relevant real-life stories. Its practical encouragement will enable you to forge a deeper connection with God during—and more importantly despite—the darkest days of life."

"Raw, honest, hopeful—these three words came to mind as I devoured this book in two sittings.

As soon as I finished this book, I immediately turned back to the beginning, so I could review all of my highlights I'd made."
