When Prayer Feels Like a Chore, Not a Joy - a 5-Day Devotional to Reset Your Prayer Lifeნიმუში

Day 2 – Honest Prayers, Not Perfect Ones

Scripture:
“Trust in him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.”
— Psalm 62:8

Devotional Thought:
Sometimes we treat prayer like a performance—careful words, polished phrases, rehearsed lines. But God isn’t moved by perfect prayers; He’s moved by honest ones. He wants your raw, unfiltered heart.

Don’t be afraid to say, “Lord, I’m tired. I don’t feel like praying today.” That kind of honesty opens the door for God to meet you in your weakness. Prayer becomes a joy when it stops being an act and starts being authentic.

Prayer:
Lord, strip away pretense in my prayers. Teach me to come to You honestly, with my real thoughts and feelings. Amen.

Reflection/Action Step:
Pray out loud today as if you’re talking to your closest friend. Don’t filter. Don’t edit. Just talk.
