Here are some quotes from Charles Spurgeon about struggling to pray:

1. "If you cannot pray, at least breathe. Let your heart, if it cannot find vent in language, at least utter itself in sighs, in groans, and tears; for God can read your heart."


2. "Groanings which cannot be uttered are often prayers which cannot be refused."


3. "When we cannot pray as we would, it is good to pray as we can."


4. "The very desire to pray is prayer, and God, by His grace, has given it to you. May He help you to wrestle until you prevail."


5. "Prayer is the slender nerve that moves the muscle of omnipotence. If you cannot pray long, pray short; if you cannot pray words, pray desires."



Spurgeon often encouraged believers to be honest in their struggles and assured them that God hears even the weakest cries.
