42 | Why Is It Hard to Trust in God's Timing with Your Prodigal or Estranged Child?

Many Christian moms believe God can restore estranged relationships, soften prodigals’ hearts, and answer prayers. The harder question is whether we can keep trusting Him when we don't know when—or how—those answers will come. In this episode, Sarah discusses some of the reasons waiting on God can feel so difficult—and what helps us continue trusting Him when His timeline looks very different from our own. If you want to stop feeling discouraged by the waiting, this conversation will encourage you, strengthen your trust in God, and help you find more of God's peace while you wait. You'll learn how to recognize some of the reasons waiting feels difficult, how to recognize when you're trying to manage outcomes that belong to Him, and what it looks like to trust in God when His timing doesn't make sense. These simple shifts will help you release the pressure of trying to fix everything yourself while you wait for Him to work in your prodigal or estranged child's life. Whether you're praying for salvation, reconciliation after estrangement, or simply waiting for a breakthrough, this episode will encourage you to trust God more deeply and surrender what you cannot control.
