Welcome back to Strong & Courageous. For some people, praying out loud feels easy. For others, it’s one of the most nerve-wracking things they can imagine. You might worry about saying the wrong words, freezing up, or being judged by others.
Prayer is not a performance. God isn’t grading your words or timing you. He’s listening to your heart. Even when your words come out messy—or don’t come out at all—God understands.
If you’re nervous to pray out loud, you’re not doing anything wrong. You can start small. You can pray one sentence. You can pray quietly. You can pray exactly where you are. God cares more about honesty than confidence.
When fear says, “What if I mess up?” God says, “I’m right here, and I know your heart.”
