Prayer: When I Don’t Know What to Pray

Sovereign King, gentle Savior, I come to You in prayer today, completely at lost for words. You know my struggles and the battles I face daily. I feel so drained, tired and weak. Be my strength, Oh Father. Be my comfort in these treacherous times.

Romans 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

What To Pray: Confused and Baffled

The difficulties I am facing today baffles me. Yet, they cannot compare to the promise I have in You. For You have never failed me and I will completely put my trust in You.

God, You know my heart. You know my thoughts. So, when words fail, search me, Oh merciful one.

Hear my humble cry. Grant me peace within my soul and heal and save me and make me whole.

1 John 5:14-15 Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.

Lord, what is Your will for me?

Lord, what is Your will for me? I am completely and totally open to Your plan for my life. Guide me Lord accordingly. Take control of my life and lead me in a plain path of righteousness.

Execute Your will in my life. Reveal to me my purpose. Draw near as I cry out, Oh merciful Savior. I hunger and thirst after Your Holy presence.

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Can’t explain what I’m going through

Yeshua, I cannot describe my feelings at this moment. I cannot explain what I am going through.

But You know. You know how much I need You. You know how much I’ve been through and You know how much I cannot go on without You.

Father, these words may fail but Your love never fails. It is an eternal, everlasting, undying, unconditional fire that burns forever.

I will rest assured, knowing You hold me in the palm of Your tender hands. I pray that You will listen to the beat of my heart today, for words have surely failed. In Jesus’ mighty name I pray, Amen!

Psalm 62:8 Trust in Him at all times, you people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah

  17. Thank you for prayers sent daily. They speak to my current situation. I have had ill-health and went through four major operations.
    God saw me through when my hope was gone. He healed me.
    Now I need prayers for my employers to assist me to move closer to my family for support as I still need support during my recovery.

    It has been a difficult process and very draining but the daily prayers have strengthened my faith and I know God has done it. Every blessing to you all.
