Authentic prayer

​
​Sometimes when we’re feeling the burden is so great and want to pray -we can have trouble finding the right words. Maybe there’s just a number of balls to juggle and you don’t even know where to begin in asking God’s guidance. Maybe the moment of overwhelm is so thick- your thoughts are blank. It’s OK not to have something eloquently organized for prayer, God doesn’t expect anything like that from us. He just wants us to be authentic in our prayers. Just be yourself as part of your relationship with God. 

Come to him in supplication and thanksgiving. That’s all we need. It's OK to blank out, it’s OK to not know where to start. God already knows where we are in every situation. Simply say the Name of Jesus! That will be more than enough to cover your situation, it’s a strong start! God already knew what we needed before the need even came to us.

Philippians 4:6

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and pleading with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
