A Prayer for the Messy Moments of Life - Your Daily Prayer - September 18

Life gets messy. Faith doesn’t have to. Here's how to pray through the chaos when everything feels like it’s falling apart.

What Is Prayer?

Prayer isn’t a ritual that depends on closing our eyes and putting on holy faces. We don’t have to kneel or sit. We can pray while walking, driving, or working. God responds to a two word cry for help in the middle of a busy afternoon, just like He does to a focused prayer time after reading Scripture in the morning. Praying doesn’t have to be complicated. God delights in any simple words we offer Him.
