i want to pray to god about animportant issue in my life but it is so complicated that i dont even know where to start or even how to explain it to god so i often end up not praying while wishing i was…
should i make it easier for myself by writing out a list of what i am praying for to use during my prayer to make it clearer and easier in my own head…i have a strong feeling in my heart that god is just waiting for me to pray before he will help out my situation…but its so very complicated and involves alot of people in my life that i get bewildered and end up not praying…please can somebody help me because i need help from god, my problems that i need to pray about are worrying me every waking moment of every day
 
Some people find that writing out their prayer, with God, helps tremendously. I used to do this. It was helpful early on for me.

Pray for clarity, for light, for grace; at the beginning of your prayer, ask your Guardian Angel for help in forming your prayer, ask the Saints to help you pray well and sincerely.

By the looks of your points above…I think you’'re more than halfway there. Sounds like a good start of a prayer already. Start by adoring and thanking God for all He has done, especially thank Him for your struggles. Focus your prayer on others. “God I do not want to displease you, I don’t know how to help these other people in my life, it’s all confusing. Help me not to worry, and not to focus too much on me. You put me in their life for a reason. Give me the grace to help them, and to put them first. Remember…I am just a weak child but I am struggling to please you. Don’t leave me for even one minute. I offer my entire day to you, for others”

Something like that.

Maybe every time you type His name, as a deliberate small act of adoration, you uppercase His name. Sometimes small things bring us close to Him.

Just a thought.

Confusion is the devil’s workshop.
Pray for Gods will, not your will. Leave the details to Him.
It is easier than you think.

I know this is hard. The solution is simple but hard (if you understand what I man).

If writting helps you, go for it. When I write in my diary, instead of ‘Dear Diary’, I write ‘Dear God’. Then I write, then I get sick of writing, so I pray. Then I write, then I get sick of writing so I pray. If ever I was to reread my diary, it would make no sense because half of the stuff is missing.

Then, if you are somewhere and not able to write but feel the need to pray but you get confused, the answer is simple. Pray ‘God I am confused, please help me.’

I know that what you need to pray about is VERY confusing. However, God is all powerful and he understands totally everything you are thinking better than you. The only thing He wants to see from you is effort. Pray whatever you can and He will take care of the rest

thanks everybody…its just so hard to get things straight in your head when you are worried…i think i will just write down all that i want to pray about ( otherwise i forget to mention half of them and i end up discouraged)…then i can pray my way down my list…or offer up a chaplet of divine mercy for my list…

thanks for helping me through the fog of my mind:p the hardest part now is going to be to write it all down because it going to be hard for me…

id appreciate it if you guys would remember me in your prayers :o
 
I’ll pray for you.

You don’t have to worry about the words you use. Remember that God reads your heart.
 
God understands the whole complicated situaton much better than you do. You don’t have to explain it to Him!

If writing it all down helps you, by all means, do it. If it’s nothing more than a burden to you, skip it, because He already knows.

Just quietly, perhaps even without words, spend some time with God, putting it all in His care and making acts of loving trust.

it is hard for me to write it down simply because what im wanting to pray about affects 11 people in my life and it worries me alot…but its harder without it written down because its just a jumble in my head that makes me confused so that i cant pray because i cant explain to god what im praying about…
