Prayer doesn’t have to be perfect or poetic. Here’s how to talk to God when words feel hard to find.
Hey ladybird,
I’ve had days where prayer feels like climbing a mountain—especially when life is messy, or I’m just plain tired. Maybe you’ve been there too, staring at the ceiling, wondering how to even start talking to God. Here’s the good news: He’s not looking for perfect words. He’s looking for you.
One of my favorite ways to pray when I’m stuck is to borrow words from Scripture. The Psalms are a goldmine for this. Feeling anxious? Try Psalm 23: “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.” Feeling grateful? Psalm 100: “Enter his gates with thanksgiving.” Just read the words out loud, slowly, and let them become your prayer.
Try This: Open to Psalm 16. Read it slowly, and pick one verse to say to God as your prayer today. If you want, add one sentence of your own—maybe something you’re thankful for or something you’re carrying.
Prayer is just a conversation with the One who loves you most. What’s one thing you want to tell God today? Drop it in the comments if you’re feeling brave!
