Day 5: Let’s Talk – Prayer Made Simple

Key Verse: “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything.” – Philippians 4:6

Prayer is talking to God about anything and everything. You don’t need fancy words. You don’t need to be in a certain place. Prayer works because God listens. Prayer is just a conversation with God. You don’t need special words or a perfect setup. Just talk.

When you’re worried—pray.
When you’re grateful—pray.
When you’re tired, confused, overwhelmed—pray.

You can whisper it, cry it, journal it, or just sit in silence. God hears you.

Start by being honest. If you’re stressed, say so. If you’re thankful, say that too. God already knows—He just wants you to bring it to Him. Prayer isn’t just for the “super spiritual.” It’s for you.

Use this simple rhythm:

  • Thank You (God, I’m grateful for…)
  • Please Help (I need help with…)
  • I Trust You (I give this to You…)

Try This: Set a 2-minute timer and talk to God. Just start wherever you are.
