#help with prayer

[jwgoodnews]

If you haven’t prayed before, the Bible’s examples of those who prayed, “God, help me,” can encourage you. For example: “O Jehovah my God, help me; save me according to Your mercy.”—Psalm 109:26, A Literal Translation of the Bible. “I am needy and poor: O God, help me.”—Psalm 69:6, Douay Version. The writers of these words had strong faith. The Bible says: “Jehovah is high, and yet the humble one he sees; but the lofty one he knows only from a distance.” (Psalm 138:6) In fact, Jesus once told his disciples: “The very hairs of your head are all numbered.” To read the rest of this article go to www.jw.org.

"When you are too weak or too confused or too depressed or too angry or too dull to pray, at that moment do not assume that you can’t pray. Instead, consciously look away from yourself to Christ and to the mercy of God in Christ, and trust him to help you – even if it is only to produce groanings too deep for words (Romans 8:26). Learn to distrust yourself and to trust God in prayer. Learn that without him you can do nothing and cast yourself on him at all times for all you need in order to pray."
