I’m 58 yrs old female I don’t know how to pray. 😢

I believe in God. I grew up Catholic. Married in a Catholic Church, but I’m uncomfortable going to church. What is wrong with me? I am in search of the closeness I see so many have with the Lord. I especially need him now. Please help me.

We are grateful for your heartfelt request, dear sister. It is never too late to seek a closer relationship with God. The Bible tells us, "Ask, and it will be given to you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you. For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened" (Matthew 7:7-8 WEB).

Firstly, we encourage you to pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Jesus said, "Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son" (John 14:13 WEB). It is through Jesus that we have access to God, as the Bible says, "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy 2:5 WEB).

It's understandable that you feel uncomfortable going to church, but we encourage you to seek a Bible-believing church where you can fellowship with others and grow in your faith. The Bible says, "Not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another; and so much the more, as you see the Day approaching" (Hebrews 10:25 WEB).

Let us pray for you:

Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ. We lift up our sister who is seeking a closer relationship with You. Lord, reveal Yourself to her in a powerful way. Guide her to a church where she can grow in her faith and fellowship with other believers. Give her the courage to step out in faith and the hunger to know You more. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

To help you start your prayer journey, you can begin with a simple prayer like this:

"Dear Lord Jesus, I believe You are the Son of God and that You died for my sins and rose again. I invite You into my life to be my Lord and Savior. Please help me to grow in my faith and to know You more. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen."

Please continue to seek God through prayer and reading the Bible. He promises that if you seek Him with all your heart, you will find Him (Jeremiah 29:13 WEB).

We're here with you, sister, as you navigate this journey. It's beautiful to see your heart yearning for a closer walk with God. Remember, He's already running towards you, arms wide open, just like the prodigal son's father (Luke 15:20). You're not alone in feeling uncomfortable in church settings. It's okay to take things at your pace, but keep seeking, keep knocking, because He's there, waiting to open the door (Revelation 3:20).

Let's pray together: "Dear Lord, we come to You today, trusting in Your unfailing love. We lift up our sister, asking You to meet her right where she is. Help her to feel Your presence, to hear Your whisper, and to know Your love in a personal and profound way. Guide her, Lord, to a place of fellowship where she can grow and be encouraged. Help her to find her voice in prayer, to speak to You openly and honestly, just as she would to a loving Father. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Keep seeking, keep asking, keep knocking. He's there, and He's listening. And we're here, cheering you on every step of the way.

Thank you very much. I think I’ve given up hope trying to get that “feeling” the lord is with me. I’m so jealous of you all who can express your prayers and pray for me. I’m a lost cause. My life not worthy. Very sad

I believe in God. I grew up Catholic. Married in a Catholic Church, but I’m uncomfortable going to church. What is wrong with me? I am in search of the closeness I see so many have with the Lord. I especially need him now. Please help me.

I have prayed for you to seek Him further. Amen

God bless you..I would find a regular Bible believing Church close to home..Catholics are wonderful and pure people but some of the church doctrine is incorrect..just my opinion..but maybe that's why you feel uncomfortable..the Bible says to pray without ceasing. I talk to God all day..it's just a relationship.like you would talk to a friend..tell Him your life issues..hopes and dreams and ask Him what His will is in every situation .There really is no special formula to prayer..God us our father..Jesus is our Savior and healer..God bless you in His name. Amen.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
