Have Graceand Gratitude

Have you ever struggled with knowing how to pray—how to bring your worries, needs, and deepest feelings before God? I have too.

For a long time, I believed I needed the right words or some special way of speaking to God. But I eventually learned that prayer doesn't require fancy words, a title, or a position. It simply requires sincerity. God wants us to come as we are and speak honestly about what we're feeling, what we're facing, and what we desire.

That journey inspired my new book, When You Don't Have the Words: A Man's Guide to Prayer When Life Gets Heavy.

I wrote this book especially for men because we often shut down, carry our struggles alone, and try to handle everything ourselves. Sometimes, even when we believe in God, we find it difficult to open our hearts and go before Him in prayer.

In this short book, I share prayers shaped by struggles I have experienced and emotions many men face but may not know how to express. My hope is that these words will help you begin the conversation with God—and eventually find your own words.

You don't have to pray perfectly. You just have to come honestly. I pray this book helps you do exactly that.
