You're struggling to pray. Well, this prayer is for you because there was a time that I felt like I did not know how to pray. I was not a prayer calling somebody else. Okay, get somebody else to do it. But God has allowed me to see that. Well, it's not all about how you pray, it's about your heart and your intentions. So I'm praying for you today. Asking God to just open up your understanding, that you just realize that prayer is just a conversation between you and God. So, Father God, I thank you so much for being here with us today, being in this moment. I pray that God opens up your heart to see that He is not a God that you need to be perfect. You just need to be perfect for Him in your own way, in your own right, and allow God to do everything else. So I pray that your tongue be released, hallelujah, from the hole that the enemy wants you to stay at. The enemy wants you to believe that you don't know how to pray, you don't know what to pray, you can't pray. We are not claiming that right now in the name of Jesus. We're claiming victory over all of it because God wants you to communicate, God wants you to talk to him, hallelujah. So God may you unloose their tongue, may you unloose their mind from overthinking these things. May God just open up your heart to him. May you just sit in your home one day, in your room one day, in your vehicle one day, and you begin to talk to God, hallelujah. Begin to proclaim his goodness, his mercies are everlasting, hallelujah, towards us. Just speak to God, hallelujah. Tell God what you want, tell God what you need, and allow God to work it out, hallelujah. Begin to talk to God, begin to speak to God, begin to release every emotion that you have to God, and God will do it for you. God will show you, hallelujah, who He is. That you will be able to say, Hey, I should have been praying, hallelujah. I should have been speaking to God. May God show you new avenues, may God show you new things that He's been waiting on for you to see, waiting for you to do. When you begin to lift up your voice to Him, you begin to lift up your voice in prayer, you begin to say, God, I love you. You begin to worship God, hallelujah, hallelujah. You begin to say, God, I thank you, hallelujah. You've been so good to me, hallelujah. You've been so good to my family, God. I give you all the glory and all the honor, God. I love you, Lord, hallelujah. Where would I be without you, God? You are so amazing, hallelujah. And I thank you, God, for that life. I thank you, God, for my limbs, I thank you, God, for the air I breathe. I thank you, God, for each and everything. God, I thank you. I thank you, God, hallelujah, and begin to just cry out to God. And that right there is your prayer. So I pray that God allows you to see that it's not hard, it is easy, it is easy to talk to him. Hallelujah. It is easy to talk to him. Don't be afraid, don't be discouraged. No matter what someone says, if you try to pray and someone made you embarrassed or someone made you feel like you can't pray, pray to God in Jesus' name, amen.
