Tired of being sick? Not just tired from the pain, but tired of praying about it?

If you're living with chronic pain, a diagnosis you're still trying to understand, depression or anxiety that won't lift, or a recovery that's taking far longer than you thought it would, this episode is for you.

Rachel talks about how to keep praying when your body won't cooperate and you're worn out from fighting the same battle, and she shares the story of her friend Keri, who is counting small, daily answers to prayer during a long recovery from back surgery.

In this episode, you'll discover:
- Why naming your battle specifically changes the way you pray
- What 2 Corinthians 4:16 means when it says we are renewed day by day
- Why Paul calling our troubles "light and momentary" isn't a dismissal of your pain
- How to notice the small, daily answers to prayer you might be missing
- A simple prayer you can pray today for the battle in your body

Whether you were diagnosed last week or you're years into something that hasn't let up, this episode will remind you that God is at work in you, one day at a time.
