I can’t even remember the last time I prayed



Feels like it was when I was just a little girl

I used to pray for God to take my nightmares away

I begged him to give me answers to my math problem

And now…

I am just scared:

“How do I pray?”

“Where do I pray?”

I wonder if I had to apologize for all these years I haven’t said a thing to him above?

I feel fragile

I kneel

Put my arms close together

And there comes nothing…

But I feel peace.

Realizing

God understands our prayers even when we can’t find the words to say them.

    "i can't even remember the last time I prayed"

    I like this a lot. it's really honest and sincere. Being open about yourself in a society like this is hard and you really showed it well! :)
