The Power of Short Prayers In Dark Times


Hello Reader,

When life falls apart, you don’t have the strength to pray long, drawn-out prayers. Have you ever sat there with your heart aching, trying to come up with the right words, but nothing comes?

And if you’re like me, you might hesitate to pray at all—because somewhere along the way, you picked up this idea that prayer is supposed to sound a certain way. That your words need to be polished or complete. That you have to figure out exactly what to say before God will lean in and listen.

But here’s what I’ve learned in my darkest moments: God isn’t waiting for perfect prayers. He’s waiting for honest hearts.
