Do you ever find yourself struggling to know the words to pray? Don’t feel like you know how to pray? That’s okay! A great way to start is to just thank God for who He is, and what He has done for you. When you can’t find the words, scripture can help you express your gratitude to God.  Journal them, memorize them or offer them as prayers to God. His word never returns void!
