Are You Hesitating to Ask God | Your Nightly Prayer

Are you holding back your prayers, thinking they’re too small for God? Discover why Scripture invites you to ask boldly—about anything. - Lynette Kittle

There have been many moments in my life when I’ve hesitated to ask God for what I truly need. Whether it’s fear of disappointment, feeling unworthy, or simply not wanting to seem needy, I’ve caught myself holding back in prayer. But James 4:2 reminds me, “You do not have because you do not ask God.” That Scripture gently convicts me and encourages me to come boldly before the Lord. Still, in difficult times, prayer can feel intimidating—especially when our hearts are weary or unsure. I’ve learned that God isn’t annoyed or burdened by our requests; in fact, He welcomes them. He delights in hearing the voice of His children, even when all we can offer is a broken whisper. During a particularly heavy season, I found myself unable to pray much at all. But eventually, even that silence became its own kind of prayer. I began to say, “Lord, I want to ask, but I’m afraid. Help me to believe You’ll meet me here.” And slowly, the walls I’d built in self-protection began to fall. I found deep encouragement in daily prayer, Bible meditation, and Christian devotionals like Your Daily Prayer and resources from Life Audio and iBelieve—reminders that God heals relationships, hears our pain, and responds with peace and forgiveness. Whether it’s a prayer for family healing, broken relationships, or restoration in my own heart, I now come to God with greater trust, knowing He’s near. Today, my encouragement for anyone hesitating is this: don’t be afraid to ask. Whether your need feels too big or too small, bring it to Him. God honors bold prayer. He invites us into honest relationship, and through that trust, He transforms our lives. So let your prayer today be simple but brave: “Lord, I believe You care. I bring my needs to You. I trust You with them all.” In that posture of surrender, we find strength, healing, and hope for the journey ahead.
