I just desired to take a minute to consult with you about letting go of prayer perfectionism. I do know what it appears like to wonder in case you’re doing enough on your adult kids, especially when praying for them.
It’s really easy to get stuck in prayer perfectionism and think that now we have to have just the fitting words or setting to make our prayers effective, but here’s what I’ve learned over time as a mom: God doesn’t need us to be perfect. He doesn’t need the fitting words and even the fitting setting.
He just needs our hearts. So, in case you feel like you do not know what to say or in case your words aren’t good enough, I get it. I’ve been there.
I’ve found that the perfect prayers aren’t fancy or polished. They’re real and honest, straight from the center. Just show up as you’re, trusting that God sees your love and willingness.
