Synopsis

What do you do when the only time you know how to pray is when everything is falling apart?

I Only Knew How to Pray When It Hurt is an honest, deeply personal journey through heartbreak, grief, unanswered prayers, losing people who are still alive, losing yourself, and trying to find your way back to God over and over again.

Rachael Hester writes about the prayers whispered from bathroom floors, through tears behind steering wheels, and in the middle of nights when God seemed painfully silent.

This is not a story about perfect faith.

It is about angry faith.

Desperate faith.

Faith that wanders.

Faith that questions why God did not stop the thing you begged Him to stop.

And the kind of faith that somehow keeps coming back anyway.

Through heartbreak, loss, shame, drifting, grief, and healing, Rachael explores what it means to believe in God when life does not turn out the way you prayed it would.

For anyone who has ever whispered:

God, please.

Why did You let this happen?

I cannot do this again.

Are You even listening?

This book is for you.

Because sometimes faith is not having all the answers.

Sometimes faith is realizing that after everything that could have made you stop believing, you are still talking to God.
