Let’s say you have a prayer request, the kind that hurts your heart. Stakes are high. How do you approach God? He already knows the problem, but He wants you to trust Him. Sometimes the words get stuck in your throat, but God knows your heart.
 
Sherry Easter sings a song about when you’ve prayed and everything seems to fall apart or scare you, “Praise His Name”. Jake Hess used to sing “Prayer is the Key to Heaven But Faith Unlocks the Door”.
 
At my darkest moments, the Lord gave me a song that got me through the storm. I like the song: “Take Your Burden to the Lord and Leave it There”.
 
Remind yourself of who God is and what He has done and that he loves you. Jesus said if you abide in me and I in you, ask what you will and I will do it. Simple faith as a child does wonders.
