A Prayer for When We Struggle with Prayer | Your Daily Prayer

Jesus, I love you. I love that you accept me as I am, with my faults and my failings, with my imperfect faith and my stumbling. You are always with me. Your grace enfolds me. Your nail pierced hands. Reach out to me. There are simply no words that can describe how thankful I am for your forgiveness and your grace. And so, Lord, as I sit here, I hold a moment of silence simply to allow my heart to beat in love for you. Inwardly I feel my love for you, and I offer it to you. Lord, I believe that my desire to pray is pleasing to you. And although sometimes I lack the words to say, I know that you receive my heart filled with gratitude and adoration. You accept my questions. You listen to my screams. Help me when I struggle with prayer to recognize that what you want for me is not perfection, but honesty, not refinement, but truth, not eloquence, but love. And so as I am today, I place myself before you to be received by you. With this I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, my Lord. The one I worship, the one I follow, and the one I love. Amen.
