Do you ever feel guilty about the brevity of your praying? Do you feel like you’re short-changing God by shooting up “quickie prayers.” Let me relieve your guilt: Whether they are long or short, God loves heartfelt prayers. A “quickie prayer” is still a prayer, so just pray it, and let God be God.

A Simple Prayer for Immediate Help:

God, at this very moment I am in deep trouble. I am facing challenges that will quickly overcome me without your immediate intervention. So I offer up a quick prayer for your help. I don’t know what to do, but you do. So I call upon you in my distress. And in advance, I thank you for your ASAP help.
