The Best Prayer for When You Don’t Know What to Do

Prayer for when you don’t know what to do

Lord,

“I need you. I don’t know what to do and I’m I need of your help, guidance, and insight. I don’t know enough and I’m not powerful enough to fix the mess that I’m in. But I know you are. Lord, you’re so wise, intelligent, all-knowing, all-seeing, powerful, creative, and the Maker of all things. I reverence you and call on you to help me see my way through.

Open the doors that need to be opened and close the doors that need to be shut. I rebuke being in a state of uncertainty and ask that you deliver me. Give me a peace of mind and show me your goodness. Lord, I lift up my eyes to the hills, where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord. The Maker of heaven and earth.

Lord, you are the only person I deeply admire and reverence, outside of you there is no other. I love you and ask that you help me Heavenly Father. Assist me and guide me through this, so that I make it out safely.”

In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

Prayer for when you don’t know what to pray

Lord,

“I don’t know what to even pray right now. I ask that you word my mouth with what to say and let the words flow from my thoughts onto my mouth. Touch me with your Holy Spirit and teach me how to pray in a manner that is acceptable and pleasing to you Lord. Bless my prayers and petitions so that they reach your presence and be answered.

Hear me and give me wisdom because I don’t know what to say when I pray. Your word says, “If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.” I ask you right now to help me communicate my thoughts, desires, needs, and feelings to you because I’m not that good with expressing myself as I pray.

Lord, I ask that you look down on me with grace and compassion and help me find the proper words to say when I pray.”

In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

When you don t know what to pray scripture

If you ever find yourself in a position where you don’t know what to pray for, then speak Romans 8:26-27 aloud. And ask God to let the Spirit intercede for you just ask His word says.

Here’s Romans 8:26-27,

“In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words can not express. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God’s will.”

A very powerful prayer for difficult situations

Lord,

“Thank you Father for keeping me safe and being with me in all that I do. Lord, I’m stuck in a difficult situation, and I need your help to get me out. I don’t know what to do, but I know I can always come to you in prayer and count on you to help me.

God, I ask that you make a way of escape for me out of this problem that I’m facing. Give me wisdom to know what to do and send your Holy Spirit to instruct me on what to do; Lord, I will listen.

Help me Father God because this is a problem that I can’t get myself out of. This is a problem that only you can fix. So, I ask for divine intervention and that you step in and turn this issue around supernaturally and quickly.

Bless me with a miracle, Lord. And, send me aid and assistance in any way that you see fit to resolve this problem. God, please help me.

Lord protect me through it all, cover me, and bring me through safely.”

In Jesus mighty name I pray, Amen.

How to pray when nothing goes right?

First start by stating what the problem is and how it’s affecting and bothering you. Go into great detail if you want.
Secondly, ask God for help or a solution to the problem.
Thirdly, speak His word to Him as you pray, by saying scriptures that relates to your problem.
Next, ask Him to answer your prayers.
Lastly, when you’re finished praying always end it by saying, “In Jesus name I pray, Amen,’ or “In the name of Jesus I pray, Amen.”

Here’s an example:

Lord,

“I really don’t know what to do right now and everything is going wrong. I don’t know any solutions to my problem, and I don’t know anyone that can help me, but you. God, I pray and ask that you make a way of escape for me out of this problem. I place this problem into your hands and ask that you work on my behalf to fix it swiftly.

Your Holy Word says in Psalm 34:17, “The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them. He delivers them from all their troubles.” Deliver me dear Lord from the trouble that I’m in, hear me and show me what to do. I am in need. Your word also says that you shall supply all my needs. Provide and supply for me Heavenly Father. I ask that you forgive me for all my sins and pour out your mercy and grace on me.

Hear my prayers dear Lord and let them not return to me void or unanswered.”

In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

How to ask God for immediate help?

Stop what you’re doing and immediately go into prayer. Ask God for His help as you explain your situation to Him. Go into detail as much as you can. Then tell Him that you’re in immediate need of help that only He can give. Here’s an example:

God,

“I need immediate help. I don’t have a place to go and if you don’t intervene then I will be without shelter. Lord, I don’t want to end up on the street, and I don’t have anyone that I can call on besides you.

Help me Lord and guide my steps. I pray for a miracle and that you miraculously turn my situation around for the better. Send someone to help me, even if you have to send a stranger.

I don’t know how I’m going to make it out of this problem, but I trust that you will make a way for me and protect me through the process. Open up the right door that needs to be opened and help me find my way Lord.”

In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
