Let’s be real, there are seasons of our life that are just plain exhausting. When it seems that everyone needs everything from us all at one time. Or maybe the enemy comes at us in every direction and wears us out. I know you’ve been there.
When you are that tired, it’s hard to function. It’s hard to do the things you normally do and yes, that can even extend into praying. Sometimes you’re just too tired to think of words to utter so you feel like you can’t pray. Many people feel like they need to concentrate or perform when they pray but that is an idea from man. God doesn’t care about us finding perfect words because He knows your heart and when you are being sincere. All He wants is to hear from you, to connect with you, to have a relationship with you. When you ask Him for help, it opens the door for Him to step into your life and work.
So I am going to share with you the most simple and effective prayer I know to pray. Three little words that are powerful and tell the Lord exactly what it is you need. When you can’t think of how to pray, use this prayer as your default. You can pray it at any time of day or night.
Help me Jesus!
Yep, that’s it. It’s not complicated. It’s not fancy. It’s not eloquent. But it IS effecitve…powerful…and exactly what I need in my most desperate times. I say it many times throughout the day and so can you.
When I am to the point where I feel attacked in all directions and worn down, I know that I can at least pray those 3 words and the Lord knows that I need Him. Stick it on a post it or on the screen saver of your phone as a reminder on the days when life overwhelms you and words seem to fail you. Then keep your eyes open to how the Lord answers that prayer!
