Episode 8- Don't Know How to Pray? How to Simply Talk to God

Have you ever wanted to pray...but found yourself wondering what you're actually supposed to say?

Maybe you've listened to someone else pray and thought, I don't sound like that. Or maybe you've wondered if you're praying the “right” way at all.

In this episode, we're continuing the morning rhythm we've been building with the Father and talking about prayer—not as a performance to perfect, but as a conversation with your Father. We'll look at what Scripture says about coming to Him, what to do when you don't know what to pray, and how His Word can help you begin the conversation.

You don't need powerful words.

Sometimes... you just need to come.

Tomorrow morning...

just talk to your Father.

Spend time with Him the way we've been learning.

Receive His embrace.

Release what you've been carrying.

Speak the truth He's already declared over you.

Write down what you want to remember.

And then...

talk.

Tell Him what you're feeling.

Tell Him what you released.

Tell Him what you don't understand.

Tell Him what you're thankful for.

And if you genuinely don't know what to say...

open the Word.

Take one Scripture and turn it into a conversation with your Father.

Or begin where Jesus taught us to begin:

Our Father...

And then...

just talk.

There is no performance here.

You don't have to sound like anyone else.

The Father isn't listening for you to sound a certain way. He's just listening for you to come.

Have you ever had one of those beautiful moments with God where something finally clicked...only to realize a few days later that you can barely remember what He showed you?

I've had that happen more times than I can count.

In this episode, we're continuing the morning rhythm we've been building with the Father and exploring the simple practice of writing. We'll look at why God repeatedly calls His people to remember, how writing can create a record of His faithfulness, and why returning to what you've written can strengthen your faith in the season you're walking through today.

You don't need a beautiful journal or pages of perfectly written thoughts.

Sometimes...

you just need to bring a pen.

Tomorrow morning...

bring a pen.

Spend time with your Father the way we've been learning.

Receive His embrace.

Release what you've been carrying.

Speak the truth He's already declared over you.

And then...

write.

Start with three simple questions:

What did I feel in the Father's embrace today?

What did the Father invite me to release today?

What truth did I speak over myself today?

Don't worry about how much you write.

Three pages.

Three sentences.

Three words.

There is no performance here.

You're simply creating a place to remember.

Write it to release it. Return to it. Remember.

Father,

What do You want me to remember from our time together today?

What are You showing me that I don't want to rush past?

Help me recognize Your presence throughout my story—even in the places I don't understand yet.

And when I forget, remind me of Your faithfulness.

Help me remember what You've done so I can trust You with where You're leading me now.

Sometimes...

you need yesterday's evidence to strengthen today's faith.

Writing gives today's encounter somewhere to live...

so tomorrow's daughter can remember.

Until next time...

stay grounded, Mama.

Have you ever noticed how quickly you tell yourself who you are?

One difficult morning becomes, "I'm a bad mom." One mistake becomes, "I'm such a failure." Before long, the words we repeat begin to shape the way we see ourselves.

In this episode, we're continuing our morning rhythm with the Father and discovering the next invitation He has for us. Together, we'll uncover why the words we speak over ourselves matter, how to stop agreeing with the lies we've believed, and why speaking God's Word is simply agreeing with what our Father has already said about us.

• Proverbs 18:21
• Psalm 116:10

Tomorrow morning...

Before you tell yourself who you are...

Pause.

Spend a few moments with your Father.

Receive His embrace.

Release what you've been carrying.

Then open His Word.

Find one truth about who God says you are.

Before you leave that place...

Speak it out loud.

Not because you're trying to convince God.

But because you're choosing to agree with the One who knows you best.

Father,

Before I tell myself who I am today, would You remind me who You've already said I am?

Is there a lie I've been repeating that You never spoke over me?

Would You help me recognize Your voice, believe Your truth, and courageously agree with You today?

Thank You for calling me Your daughter before I ever had the chance to define myself.

Have you ever prayed, "God, I'm giving this to You," only to find yourself carrying it again a few hours later?

Maybe you've been holding onto worry, guilt, fear, or the pressure to keep everything together. You know God invites you to cast your cares on Him... but if you're honest, letting go feels harder than you expected.

In this episode, I'm sharing the second rhythm of my morning time with the Father and the gentle invitation He's been teaching me. Together, we'll discover why release isn't something we force, how trust grows in the Father's embrace, and why opening our hands to the Father makes room for His peace, grace, and presence.

Tomorrow morning, I want to invite you to go a little deeper.

Before you begin thinking about the day...

Before you reach for your to-do list...

Before you ask God for anything...

Take a moment to simply sit in the Father's embrace.

Take a deep breath.

Whisper,

"Good morning, Father."

And just be with Him.

After you've spent a few moments in His presence, ask Him what He wants to carry with you today.

Don't rush.

Trust Him enough to show you.

Then open your hands, one burden at a time, and allow the Father to carry what you were never meant to carry alone.

Father,

As I sit with You today, what am I carrying that You never intended for me to carry alone?

Is there something I've been holding onto because I'm afraid to trust You with it?

Would You help me open my hands and receive the peace that comes from placing my burdens into Yours?

You don't have to carry the weight of today by yourself.

You have a Father who welcomes you into His embrace, grows your trust, and lovingly carries what was never meant to rest on your shoulders.

Until next time... stay grounded, Mama.

Have you ever wanted to spend more time with God... but every time you think about opening your Bible, you feel guilty?

Maybe you've started reading plans only to fall behind, promised yourself tomorrow would be different, or wondered why everyone else seems to feel close to God while you feel stuck.

In this episode, I'm sharing the simple shift the Father used to transform my mornings—not by giving me a better routine, but by inviting me into a deeper relationship. Together, we'll discover how fellowship begins, why the Father simply wants you to come close, and how starting your day as His daughter can change everything.

This week, don't worry about creating the perfect quiet time.

Instead, simply begin here.

Before reaching for your phone... Before your to-do list... Before the day begins asking something from you...

Turn your heart toward the Father.

Maybe all you say is,

"Good morning, Father."

Then take a deep breath and receive His embrace.

Don't rush ahead.

Just begin with fellowship.

Father,

What have I believed about spending time with You that You want to replace with truth?

What would it look like for me to simply come to You as Your daughter this week?

What are You inviting me to receive from You each morning before I pour myself out for others?

Remember, Mama…

You don't have to strive your way into becoming a better mom.

Stay grounded in who God says you are.

Until next time... stay grounded, Mama.

The Spirit-Led Mama is a Christian motherhood podcast that helps overwhelmed moms break free from guilt, become grounded in their identity in Christ, and show up intentionally in motherhood through biblical encouragement, practical tools, and Spirit-led discipleship.

Have you ever felt like you're pouring everything you have into everyone else... and somewhere along the way realized there's nothing left inside of you?

Maybe you've tried to be more patient.

Tried to be more present.

Tried to be a better mom.

But no matter how hard you try, you still feel empty.

In this episode, you’ll discover why fruit isn't produced by trying harder, why healing begins with remaining, and how Jesus lovingly invites you to find rest in Him before He ever asks you to bear fruit.

John 15: 1 -17

Instead of asking yourself, "How can I try harder today?" ask a different question.

"Jesus, how are You inviting me to remain with You today?"

Then don't rush to answer it yourself.

Sit quietly for a few moments.

Open John 15 and slowly read verses 1–5.

Pay attention to any word or phrase that stands out to you.

Then ask Him:

"Jesus, where have I been drawing life from instead of You?"

"What am I carrying that You never asked me to carry?"

"What would it look like for me to remain with You today?"

Write down whatever He places on your heart.

Maybe He's inviting you to rest.

Maybe He's inviting you to slow down.

Maybe He's simply inviting you to receive His love again.

This week, don't worry about producing more fruit.

Just stay connected to the Vine.

Remember, Mama…

You don't have to strive your way into becoming a better mom.

Stay grounded in who God says you are.

Until next time... stay grounded, Mama.

Do you ever feel like you never quite measure up as a mom?

Have you ever looked around at other moms and quietly wondered “Why can’t I be more like them?”

Comparison has a way of convincing us that we're falling behind, not doing enough, or somehow missing what everyone else seems to have figured out.

In this episode, we'll answer the question, "Why do I feel like a failure as a mom?" Together, we'll uncover the lie behind comparison and discover how the Father's voice gently redirects our eyes away from measuring ourselves against others and back to Christ—where our identity, worth, and confidence are found.

Romans 8:29: For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.

Spend a few quiet moments with the Father this week in an area where you feel like you’re failing.

Pause. Take a breath. You do not have to rush past what you’re feeling or try to make it sound better. Simply be honest with Him.

1. Where do I believe I’m failing?

Write down what comes to mind without judging or correcting it.

1. Father, what am I comparing myself to?

Is it another mom? An expectation someone placed on you? A picture of motherhood you created in your own mind?

1. Father, what are You saying to me instead?

Sit quietly and write down what He brings to your heart.

1. Open His Word.

Spend time with Him. Listen for His voice, and allow Him to redirect your eyes away from comparison and back to Christ.

Remember, Mama…

You don't have to strive your way into becoming a better mom.

Stay grounded in who God says you are.

Until next time... stay grounded, Mama.
