When You Don’t Know What to Say – A simple way to pray when you feel stuck
Free printable devotional (PDF)

There are days when you want to pray but the words just don’t come. Your mind jumps to tasks and worries, your heart feels tired, and you’re not sure how to begin. Prayer starts to feel like a test you’re failing instead of a conversation with a Father who already knows you.

When You Don’t Know What to Say is a gentle devotional for the moments when:

• You feel awkward, scattered, or stuck when you try to pray

• You worry your words aren’t “spiritual” enough

• Silence feels easier than trying one more time

• You long to connect with God but don’t know where to start

Through quiet storytelling, Scripture, and a closing prayer, this devotional helps you:

• Remember that God isn’t grading your prayers—He’s inviting your honesty

• Let go of perfection and pressure around “praying right”

• Use a simple, grace-filled framework (P.R.A.Y.) when you feel lost for words

• Take one small step back into real conversation with God

What’s included:

• 1 printable devotional (PDF)

• 5–7 minute read

• Scripture-centered encouragement + guided prayer

• For personal use (you may reprint for your own use as often as you’d like)

This free devotional is part of the Ivory Road Resources collection—created to help you meet God in real life, with real words, right where you are.
