HOW TO PRAY WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW THE RIGHT WORDS TO USE



How good it is to know that we do not need to get our words right when we want to talk to God! Whatever we need to say during prayer need not sound perfect to our ears. We only need to talk. He loves us and knows us well enough to understand.

David said, “There is not a word in my tongue, O LORD which you do not know” (Psalm 139:4). How wonderful it is know that before any word comes to our heart, God already knows it. Even when we are finding it difficult to put our request into words, He knows it. God looks past our words into our hearts.


It is wonderful to know that our God is “all knowing”. He is omnipresent. He knows it all and has seen it all. He gives us a knowing smile and expresses exactly what we cannot put to words. All we need do is to call on Him. He is gracious and full of mercy; He will answer us.
