How to Pray When You’re Struggling

from Contending for the Word Q&A · host Dave Jenkins

Prayer can feel difficult during seasons of pain, confusion, and emotional heaviness. Christians may know they need to pray while still struggling to find the words. Romans 8:26 teaches that the Holy Spirit helps believers in their weakness, even when they do not know what to pray. Psalm 62:8 calls God's people to trust Him at all times and pour out their hearts before Him. In this episode of Contending for the Word Q&A, Dave Jenkins explains that prayer is not about having perfect words or pretending everything is fine. Christians can come honestly before God, trust that He hears them, and depend upon His help because they approach Him through the perfect righteousness of Jesus Christ.
