6 Small Prayers To Say When You Don’t Have The Words

Finding peace starts with surrendering our worries to the universe and trusting that God’s guidance will meet us in the middle of our uncertainty. Best-selling author of Finding God Every Day, Rebecca Simon, reminds us to trust God’s timing, embrace patience, and lean on His presence through every season of life.

God isn’t looking for a perfect prayer; he is looking for a seat at your table. These aren’t just words — they are open doors. 

When you wake up overwhelmed:

“God, give me just enough hope for the place I’m in today.”

When you’re stuck in traffic/a rush:

“Slow my heart down to match your grace, God.”

When you’re doubting yourself:

“Remind me who I am to you, God.”

When you’re frustrated with someone:

“God, help me see them through your eyes for a moment.”

When you’re worried about the future:

“I’m handing the ‘what ifs’ back to you, God.”

Before you sleep:

“Thank you for the tenderness I didn’t even see today.

Thank you for always carrying me, God”
