Sometimes we overcomplicate prayer. We think we need the perfect words, the right formula, or a certain level of holiness to approach God. But here’s the truth: God isn’t looking for a polished speech. He’s looking for your heart. God wants to hear about everything—not just your sins, not just your biggest dreams, not just your Sunday morning thoughts. He wants your full, messy, beautiful, ordinary life. The real one. Not the filtered version. Think about your best friend. Do you only talk to them when things are serious? No—you talk about everything. The funny stuff, the stressful stuff, your day, your future, your fears. That’s what God wants with you. A real relationship. Jesus didn’t teach His disciples to pray by giving them a long, complicated speech. He gave them the Our Father—a simple, heartfelt, direct prayer. Why? Because the Father doesn’t want performance—He wants presence.
