You can start here
Pain can make prayer difficult and familiar answers feel far away. You can bring doubts, anger, and uncertainty into a conversation without having everything settled.
A few next steps
- Try a simple, honest prayer if you want: “God, this is hard. Help me take the next step.”
- Speak with a safe, compassionate person who can listen without shaming your questions.
- Continue getting practical and professional support. Prayer and appropriate mental health care can go together.
