NOTE: The example
single sentence prayer starters
listed below are exactly that! They are not intended to replace your own
emotions your own
feelings. Confess your Sins to the Lord to create a clean Heart:
1 John 1:9 "On the other hand, if we
admit our sins--make a clean breast of them--he won't let us down; he'll
be true to himself. He'll forgive our sins and purge us of all
wrongdoing.". Forgive others Mark 11:25
"And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so
that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins". Confess how you feel to God and don't expect anyone to speak
for you except the Holy Spirit who intercedes for you before the Father.
He, on the other hand, even understands your groans when you can't speak
and pleads your case when you do. You can use these examples as a primer
in order to get started, but ask the Holy Spirit to help you.
