What to Do When You Don’t Feel Like Praying
🪞 Opening Thought
We all hit moments where prayer feels hard. The words don’t come. Our hearts feel numb. Or honestly—we just don’t want to.The good news? God knows that too. He doesn’t condemn us for the struggle—He invites us closer.
📖 Key Scriptures
- Romans 8:26 – “The Spirit helps us in our weakness… the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.”
- Psalm 34:18 – “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
- James 4:8 – “Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.”
💡 Practical Steps
- Pray HonestlyTell God exactly how you feel: “God, I don’t feel like praying today.”Honesty is still prayer.
- Pray SmallOne sentence is enough.Example: “Jesus, I need You.”
- Pray with ScriptureOpen Psalms or the Lord’s Prayer and pray the words that are already written.
- Pray with Others’ VoicesListen to a recorded prayer or let someone else’s words carry you.
- Pray with Worship 🎶Turn on a worship song and start singing along.Let the lyrics become your prayer when you have none of your own.✨ Song Suggestions:
- Pray with SilenceJust sit in His presence. Sometimes prayer is listening, not speaking.
