🙏 3 Things to Pray When You Don’t Know What to Say
Share
Have you ever sat down to pray…
and nothing came out?
You knew you needed God.
You felt the weight of life…
But the words? Gone.
Here’s the truth: You don’t have to pray perfectly.
You just have to pray honestly.
🙏 1. “God, I need You.”
This might be the most powerful prayer of all.
No big words. No fancy phrases. Just truth.
🕊️ “God, I can’t do this without You.
I need Your help. I need Your presence.
I need peace that only You can give.”
📖 Psalm 145:18 — “The Lord is near to all who call on Him…”
💬 2. “God, I don’t understand—but I trust You.”
There will be times when nothing makes sense.
In those moments, you can still pray with faith.
🕊️ “God, I don’t know why this is happening.
But I trust Your plan, even when I don’t see it.”
📖 Proverbs 3:5 — “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding…”
❤️ 3. “God, thank You—even in this.”
Gratitude shifts your focus.
Even when things are hard, giving thanks opens your heart to hope.
🕊️ “God, I thank You for waking me up.
For holding me even in pain.
For never letting go.”
📖 1 Thessalonians 5:18 — “Give thanks in all circumstances…”
🙌 Final Encouragement
You don’t have to have the right words.
You just need a willing heart.
God hears even your silent prayers.
So when you don’t know what to say—start with these.
And remember: the Holy Spirit prays for you, even when you can’t (Romans 8:26).
