I don’t believe God cares whether we know what or how to pray. He just wants us to share our honest feelings with Him, and He will take it from there. Nothing is too small or too big to pray about; Our words just need to come from our heart. God works in small ways, and He works in big ways. God understands! God hears! God listens!
I look to John 14, where Jesus says, “Whatever you ask in my name, that will I do so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask Me anything, I will do it.”
At the same time there are other verses which tell us that if we do not receive, it may be because we ask with the wrong intent, or without forgiveness in our heart, or God has determined it is not to our best interests, or even that it is not in God’s timing. So, there will be times when we may be disappointed with unanswered prayers. This only teaches us patience, courage, and a continuing trust in the Lord. Just keep praying!
I also look at Jeremiah 1:6-9 “But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, I am a youth, because everywhere I send you, you shall go, And all that I command you, you shall speak. Do not be afraid of them…vs 9 “Then the Lord stretched out His hand and touched my mouth, and the Lord said to me, Behold, I have put My words in your mouth.”
