short and simple

the more i need God...and the more i know i truly have no control over things...

the shorter and simpler my prayers get...

they become,

"Please, Lord" over and over and over

or

"Thank you, Lord" over and over and over

and...in those awful moments when i have absolutely nothing but Him, it's just,

"Lord. Oh, Lord" over and over and over

it's heart-wrenching and so freeing all at the same time...knowing that everything is in His hands and not in mine at all.

What's most awesome is that when we cant find the words to pray...the Holy Spirit does that work for us!

freeing is the best word for it I think. to know that it's out of our hands totally!

my prayers look so similar.
I attribute it to knowing that God already knows, He just needs me to come to Him.
words are optional, in my opinion!
especially in the scary times.

can so relate. would add a 'please, Jesus!' to the list. otherwise, i recognize every one of yours. :) Oh and a 'help me, please!'
