Get the appWhen You’re Desperate: 21 Days of Honest PrayerSample
This verse isn’t about getting whatever we want — it’s about staying close enough to Jesus that what we want starts to shift. Abiding is a day-by-day, moment-by-moment choice to remain with Him, listen to Him, and let His words shape us. And when we pray from that place? Jesus says we can ask boldly. Desperate prayer isn’t just asking big — it’s staying close.
Practice:
Before you ask anything today, ask this: Am I abiding?
Open your hands. Slow down. Let His words shape your heart. Then ask — boldly, desperately, in step with Him. Let your closeness to Him guide the size of your prayers.
Guided Prayer:
Heavenly Father,
Your presence is where I find peace,
it’s where I find meaning,
it’s where I find joy.
Help me to make my home in You.
I will build my life on You, the Rock.
Give me a passion for Your words.
Let them take root in my soul
as I seek Your face today.
Change my heart to look like Yours,
so that my prayers will reflect
Your heart and will for the world.
Give me the confidence in Your promise
That whatever I ask of You
You will hear and You will answer.
You are a good father who loves
To hear from His children.
Teach me today that prayer
Moves the hand that moves the world.

About this Plan
This is a 21-day prayer journey for when you feel stuck, tired, or just ready to get honest with God. Each day gives you a short passage to read, a brief summary, and a simple way to practice real, desperate prayer. We’ll look at moments in Scripture where people cried out to God — not with polished prayers, but with raw, gut-level faith — and learn to pray that way too. Let’s pour out our prayers and see what God does with them.
