How to pray when you don't know what to say

Prayer can feel intimidating, especially when you don’t know the right words.

But prayer isn’t about saying the perfect thing—it’s about talking to God.

Romans 8:26 says, “The Spirit helps us in our weakness… the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.”

Even when you don’t know what to say, God understands.

You can start simple:

• “God, I don’t know what to say.”

• “Help me.”

• “I’m struggling.”

That’s real prayer.

God is not listening for performance—He’s listening for your heart.
