don’t overthink prayer

 

Oh wait brain you’re doing it again don’t overthink prayer

I want to pray for my friend who has cancer oh wait or was it a surgery? I don’t recall. Let me grab my prayer journal. 

See your mind is going this way & that way and now you’re not praying at all.

I really want to pray Isaiah 41:10 but now I can’t remember the verse what was it again?

See your mind is going this way & that way and now you’re not praying at all.

I am sorry LORD I know prayer is a discipline

Are you really willing to bend down and listen?

I’m sorry LORD it’s just so hard to wait on you

In this age of distractions and endless scrolling I am sometimes ashamed to approach you 

don’t overthink prayer

Father I need you

Oh no 

I messed up I forgot to Worship I went straight to “request”

Thank you that you interpret my jumbled prayer mess!

I love you LORD 

For you loved me first

Help me hide your Word in my heart irrespective if I can precisely say the chapter & verse

Help me pray honest prayers not a script I have to rehearse 

Help my dear brain not overthink prayer     

Help me LORD pray again & again, for by grace alone you bend down & listen
