Feeling stuck in a long, gray season where nothing is necessarily wrong, but nothing feels right either? You're not alone. That heavy, stuck feeling has a name: it's a wilderness season. And it's one of the hardest seasons to pray through.

In this episode, Rachel digs into Psalm 78 and the convicting question the Israelites asked: "Can God really spread a table in the wilderness?" She explores the difference between being stuck IN the wilderness and being led THROUGH it, and shares a friend's powerful testimony of breakthrough after months of feeling unseen.

You'll discover:

Why wilderness seasons are harder to pray through than crisis moments
What Psalm 78:19 teaches us about doubt in dry seasons
The one word in Psalm 78:52 that changes everything about how we see hard seasons
Why doubt in the wilderness doesn't mean your faith is failing
How your breakthrough may be closer than you think

If you're in a season that feels endless and you're wondering if God is even working, this episode will remind you that the Shepherd who leads His people through the wilderness hasn't lost track of you.

Coming up: Join Rachel for a live online Bible study, Pray God's Word with Confidence, on Monday, March 2 at 7 PM Eastern. Learn a simple method for turning any Scripture into a personal, powerful prayer. Registration closes March 1. Link in show notes.
