Finding Words Again: Prayer Prompts Inspired by Psalms

Blank.

Blank pages.

Empty.

Empty thoughts.

Full.

Full of prayer. 

Filled.

Filled with God’s Spirit. 

I don’t know about you, but there are lots of days when my page to write is blank, or the space in my mind is empty when I try to pray. If you have those kinds of days, I want to give you 5 prayer prompts to help you during the most important part of your day, your prayer life:

  • Stressed: Lord, I know You are my refuge and strength. Help me today with my stress on…(inspired by Psalms 46:1)
  • Gratitude: King of Kings, You have blessed me with so many things from the seemingly tiny to the BIG surprises. I want to thank you today for…
  • Guidance: Father God, show me your ways today. I need help with…(inspired by Psalms 24:4-5)
  • Anger: God, help me surrender the anger I am holding today to You. I am so angry with…
  • Confusion/Void of Starting Point: Heavenly Father, I know Your word is a lamp unto my feet, please light my path today. I am confused… (inspired by Psalms 119:105).

You may have noticed that almost all of the prompts I listed are inspired by Psalms. If you have never read the Psalms as a prayer to help with any and all emotions, I encourage you today to start with these, then explore more Psalms through a prayer lens.

I would love to hear your favorite Psalm to pray with, too! 

See you in the next post,

with faith and a little fur 🐾

  1. Thank you for these prompts. My favorite Psalms are 23,’ the lord is my shepherd, 27, ‘the lord is my light and my salvation. The psalmist had an intriguing way of communicating with God and I’ve also found solace with these words.
