Sometimes it’s hard to know how to pray and what to say. Sometimes we aren’t sure how we feel, or we have so much moving around in our minds we can’t slow it down enough to tell God about it. Sometimes we just feel so drained, so empty that we can’t even find the words to Express the emptiness. Sometimes we just need some help just to understand what’s going on inside ourselves.

It’s okay not to be okay. It’s okay to not know what you need. It’s okay to need help. It’s okay to pray even when you can’t find the words.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.
1 Kings 8:39

Sometimes, we just need to lean on God more and let Him sort through the chaos and fill the emptiness.

We don’t know everything, nor were we meant to handle everything on our own. When life gives you lemons, let God make lemonade out of it. Then drink that refreshment and be filled with His peace. God has so much to offer you. When you turn your focus back to Him and lift up your stress, anxiety, chaos, depression, hurt, suffering, struggles, finances, relationships, and your whole life up to Him, He will work wonders in and through you. Let Him use you. Allow yourself to be His vessel.

It’s okay to not know how, you only need to open yourself to Him and let Him do the heavy lifting.

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.
Psalm 51:10

Have you accepted the grace of God?

If you have not accepted the grace of God and chosen to believe in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, I encourage you to pray to God now and invite Him in, accept Jesus as the sacrifice for your sins, and repent of your sins. Submit it all to God, lay it at His feet, seek the forgiveness of God, welcome Him into your life, and believe that Jesus died and rose again to save you from your sins.
