I’m in the middle of a Wednesday night class at my church called Praying through the Psalms. Essentially, it’s about prayer using the framework of the Psalms as a guide. So far, it’s been super helpful in expanding my mind to the ways I can pray when I can’t find words.

One way is to use the written prayers of others. Books like the Common Book of Prayer and (obviously) the Bible are the best to use, but sometimes you can run across other journals or prayers that others have recorded down the centuries.

I don’t know who wrote this one, but it suits me and a lot of people reading this. Basically, it expands on the statement that the man whose son was possessed and wanted Jesus to heal him. His plea to Jesus is “I believe. Help my unbelief.”
