I may me posting this in the wrong thread and I am sorry. How do you pray when you don't know what is really wrong with you? I want to pray but I don't know what to say or what to do. I know something is wrong with me but I cannot put it into sentences right now. I know the answer might seem easy but my brain isn't working right now.

Re: Prayer Help
Ask whatever you believe divine (Whatever Gods/Goddessses you relate to) for the help that is for your highest good. Don't be afraid to admit to them that you don't know what you need; only that you need their help. Word it quite like you worded this post. "I want to pray but I don't know what to say or what to do. I know something is wrong with me but I cannot put it into sentences right now. I know the answer might seem easy but my brain isn't working right now." You are not likely to get an immediate answer (you might), but put it out there, and wait. Observe what's going on around you, listen to children playing in the park, write down your dreams, etc. The answer will come.Sleep, my friend, and you will see

Re: Prayer Help

IMO, prayer *should* be an ongoing conversation with the Divine, however you choose to recognize it. If you are having a good day, or see a particularly stunning sunset or whatever, try taking the time to acknowledge it and sending a prayer of thanks. If you take the time to be thankful for the good things that surround you, it makes you more observant and more mindful in general, and puts you in better touch with yourself, and better able to identify and prioritize your feelings and problems. And...by developing a relationship with the Divine, if makes it more of cooperative partnership. That way, you can ask for more targeted assistance when you need it...but just as often, you will probably find the solution has established itself or been made known without ever needing to ask.Wonderful Life: The Burgess Shale and the Nature of HistoryPagan Devotionals, because the wind and the rain is our Bible

Re: Prayer Help
One thing that hasn't been brought up, be prepared that help may come in ways you don't expect or want. You can innocently ask for someone to be healed/without pain/pull through surgery/etc and that person will die. Was it for the best for that person? Probably, but not what you intended to ask for (unless you're like me and will ask for that from time to time). You can ask to be protected and your car can be totaled in a hit and run while in the parking lot so you can't leave the home and a snow storm hits. Protected but at the cost of your car.-=Ex Ignorantia Ad Sapientiam; E Luce Ad Tenebras=-

Re: Prayer Help
I tend to have ongoing conversations with my deities, but when the going gets really tough I just yell 'Help!'
That usually does the trick....
