“This, then, is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.'”
(Matthew 6:9-13 NIV)
How to pray when you don’t know what to pray. Read the above verses.
The Lord’s Prayer is a good prayer when you are at a loss for words. I think we all have moments when we can’t think of anything to say while praying.
Another way to pray is to just pour your heart out to God. He is waiting to hear from you. He loves you, and it doesn’t matter to Him if you are very eloquent and can say a beautiful prayer. Or if you get tongue tied and have no idea what to say.
I really think that it doesn’t really matter how you pray as long as you pray. God just wants us to desire to talk to Him. So I suggest that you talk to your Heavenly Father today and every day. Tell Him all your problems, cares, and concerns. But don’t forget to thank Him for things too.
I kept thinking I learned more to the prayer as a kid. So I looked up images. The last part says, “For thine is the kingdom and the power, and the glory forever. Amen.”
Have a great day, everyone.
