Vine Prayer: Pray God’s Word for Relief

Sometimes, we’re our own worst enemy. Holding on to junk in our minds and hearts. We need Jesus to save us from us. And He will.

Lord, thank You for Your love. Thank You for drawing close to the lost when we couldn’t come to You.

Jesus, You came to heal us everywhere we hurt. And we’re hurting, Lord. We’re bound in destructive cycles of thinking and habits that look like we’ll never overcome.

We’re messy in our thoughts and emotions. We’ve caused and received so much heartache, we’re blinded by bitterness. It’s hard to see Your goodness in anything.

And then there’s the pressures of this world. The demands people put on us and we put on ourselves to look and act like we have it all together—and we’re tired, Lord. These masks are so heavy.

So, we ask You to save us from ourselves. Help us look past our hurts and see Your heart.

Free us from our prisons of comparison, doubt, fear, guilt, and insecurity. Help us to see Your abundant grace—goodness we don’t deserve but desperately need. And release the pressure valve, Jesus. Release us from the pressure to present perfect lives. The impossible standards we put on ourselves and each other.

We give all of it to You and receive the freedom found only in You. Thank You for Your faithfulness and unfailing love. In Your name Jesus, we pray. Amen.

Prayer based on Luke 4: 16-18.


Paperback book titled Got A Minute to Pray. It's a collection of powerful prayers for present-day problems. Perfect for those who find praying to God awkward.

“I have no words right now.”

We’ve all been there. Life hands you a problem you can’t even put into words, much less solve. And whether you’re a longtime believer who’s discouraged, you’re new to faith in Christ or you’re wondering what this “Jesus stuff” is all about, talking with God about what you’re facing feels so far out of reach.

What if there were a way to making talking to God easier?

You may not know what to say or you may not want to pray. But if you’re overwhelmed, speechless, and confused about what to do next, Jesus wants to help you.

Got A Minute to Pray is a collection of 60 Bible-based prayers for today’s challenges like worry, anxiety, and depression.

These prayers are both powerful and practical. They connect your needs with God’s heart by echoing what God has already promised you. Because, unlike people, God always stands behind His word.

These guided prayers reduce anxiety and restore the peace you long for.

Christian prayer is not about religion. It’s a relationship with the living God. And when you have no words for what you’re facing, Jesus has plenty. So, you got a minute to pray?
