How to Pray When You Don't Know What to Say

  How to Pray When You Don't Know What to Say Hello everyone. It's been a little while. Life, as it often does, got incredibly full over the past few months. There were days filled with the familiar sounds of life here, the distant hum of generators, the joyful noise of children playing after school, the heavy patter of rain on the roof during a downpour. And in the midst of all that noise, my own inner world went quiet. Too quiet. My morning devotions, which used to be the anchor of my day, started to feel hard. The words on the page felt distant, and finding the energy to connect felt like a chore. This struggle came to a head one evening, after a particularly draining day, when I knelt by my bed to pray, a moment of connection I’ve always cherished. But on this night, nothing came. I opened my mouth, but the words were gone. All I could feel was the weight of my exhaustion and a confusing emptiness where my prayers used to be. Have you ever felt that way? In that m...

    Imperfect Yet Faithful: What It Really Means to Be a Christian I’ll be honest with you; I’ve asked myself this question more times than I can count. Sometimes it’s when I lose my temper with a loved one. Other times, it’s when I scroll through social media and see people who seem to have it all together, their faith shining so brightly. And I think, “Am I really measuring up?” Here’s the thing: being a Christian isn’t about never making mistakes. It’s about how we navigate life’s messiness with God in our hearts. I’ve tripped over pride, struggled with impatience, and doubted my purpose, but each time, I’ve learned something.

Being a Christian shows up in ordinary moments: helping a friend who’s hurting, choosing honesty when lying seems easier, or just praying when everything feels confusing. It’s in those moments that I see real faith, not perfection. ...

Letting Go to Letting Free – Part II Forgiveness and Laying Down Every Weight Introduction In the first part of this series, we looked at how letting go opens the door to freedom. But if we are honest, there is one burden that silently weighs down many hearts— Unforgiveness . It’s not always visible, but it shows up in our emotions, our relationships, and even in how we view ourselves. Forgiveness is one of the hardest things to practice, yet it is one of the greatest keys to living free. To let go is to release the pain, but to truly let free is to forgive and walk unchained The Weight We Carry Holding on to offense is like carrying a backpack filled with heavy stones . Every harsh word, every betrayal, every disappointment—we pack them inside and try to keep moving. But the truth is, it slows us down, drains our energy, and steals our joy. Paul said it beautifully: “Let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the...

    Finding God in Chaos: How to Experience Peace When Life Feels Overwhelming Life doesn’t always come neatly packaged. Some days are smooth and predictable, but then there are seasons that feel like everything is falling apart at once. Bills pile up, relationships crack, plans fail, and the world around us spins faster than we can keep up. Chaos has a way of showing up uninvited—loud, messy, and relentless. If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Where is God in all this?” you’re not alone. Many of us wrestle with that question. But here’s the surprising truth: God is not absent in our storms. In fact, He is often the closest when life feels most confusing. Why Chaos Can Feel So Overwhelming Chaos is draining because it strips away our sense of control. We like to have things figured out—plans, timelines, security—but chaos reminds us how fragile life really is. The Bible reminds us: “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fe...
