Have you ever felt like your prayers somehow didn’t measure up?
-
I’m not sure if I felt that way but I will say I’ve felt like I wasn’t being heard.
-
Not necessarily in quality to God but in quantity. Also, I typically choose to not pray out loud in case I stumble over finding the words or am not articulate.
-
Yes. But, only when others are listening.
-
Yes, but I know God isn’t looking for a special style. If Billy Graham could get a prayer through without “a big deal”, I big deal isn’t necessary. Honesty, transparency, humility and passion are how I want to pray.

Yes, I have many times felt like my prayers didn’t measure up. It helps me to remember that God already knows what I’m feeling, thinking, and even what I will say before I say it. I can’t hide anything from Him. He created me so He knows me better than I know myself. Once I remind myself that God knows His kids and loves us unconditionally, I’m ok.
