34 | God Is Love: How Christian Autism Moms Can Pray to Restore Faith and Find Healing

Are you struggling to pray because you feel guilty or ashamed about doubting God?

Do you wonder if your honest emotions make you a “bad Christian” as you navigate parenting an autistic or medically complex child?

Are you ready to rediscover how to pray, restore your faith, and feel God’s love in the midst of life’s hardest moments?

In this episode, I’m sharing how Christian autism moms can approach God with honesty; even when doubting, frustrated, or scared; so you can restore your faith, experience healing as a mom, and feel empowered to pray without shame.

We dive into the common struggles many moms face when their children have autism or complex medical needs: the endless appointments, sleepless nights, and moments of feeling powerless. I share my personal story of fear, frustration, and doubt, and how I learned that these feelings do not make me a bad mom or a bad Christian.

You’ll hear why being honest with God is not only okay, it’s essential. We explore how Jesus Himself modeled authentic communication with God, even expressing anguish and confusion, and how you can follow His example in your own prayer life.

This episode offers practical guidance for reclaiming your prayer life, including:

• How to bring your doubts and fears to God without guilt
• Scripture that reassures you of God’s unconditional love
• Reflection prompts to help you process emotions and connect more deeply with God
• Steps to restore faith and feel empowered as a Christian mom

By the end of this episode, you’ll walk away with renewed confidence in approaching God, tools to pray honestly, and the peace that comes from knowing God’s love never fails, no matter what doubts or fears you face.
