I don't know why I cannot pray for myself, but I really am unable to do it right now. I feel stuck. These last two years have been so difficult. I try my best every day. I should not be so ungrateful, as the Lord has been good to me along the way, in many wonderful ways. Nonetheless I am so exhausted, tired, sad. I feel stuck. I have been struggling so much but nothing happens, everything seems to be blocked. Please pray for a breaktrogh, I am so sad today. I need motivation to keep going. Thank you.

I wonder if it would help you to switch from praise to prayer for now. We are told to praise in the Bible far more than we are told to pray. There are so many resources online with things like lists of Bible promises that you can go through and praise for.

Of course you can also just start praising the Father for your many blessings of various kinds. The Bible says that Abba inhabits the praises of His people.

I pray your problems will be resolved and that you will be at peace and rest in the Lord.

I was thinking just the same thing, focus on praise instead of prayer. Not saying not to pray, just focus on the praise.

Prayer and praise are really the same kind of thing.

I was thinking just last night about the amazing message the angel gives to the shepherds:
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord!

Praise God!

The (Lord’s prayer) “Thy will be done” is where I start when I have such difficulties. Also reading the Psalms out loud is always spiritually and emotionally edifying to me.

So He takes you by the and out side just as the sun is coming up and you see the clouds in morning colors and flowers and you can hear all kind of birds singing. He tells you.. I made all of this just for you. Then its night and the sky is deep dark blue and you seem to see forever.. and again He tells you all of this was made for you. You are the reason He came and died. He tells you again that He did not come to condemn nor judge you. He reminds you how you are the righteousness of God and holy because you believe in Him. I don't know how GOD does this but He will look at you hold you tell you YOU ARE the most important one to Him. Yet you know He does this for all of us. The song playing as I am trying "I am a Christian by Newsong". Listen it to it.. seems to fit here PRAISE GOD!

See we walk by faith not sight nor how we feel. Feelings are up and down all over the place. So as others said in times like this just put on some music (for Christ) that helps you worship, praise Him no matter how you feel. Start to dwell on just who Christ is.. who you Father is and that He is in you with you. His JOY is yours His strength is yours.. His armor is yours His peace is yours. Even when you felt noting prayed nothing His love for you never once changed and still smiling and He has never once let you go! Hopes and dreams.. 1eneth Time Down.

Praying for you.
