The Honest Prayer Deck | 30 Prayers You Don't Say Out Loud
Sunday morning doesn't always give us room to say the real thing.
We sing, we shake hands, we get in the car, and we drive home still carrying whatever we walked in with. Nobody asks. So we don't say it. And we start to believe we're the only one.
The Honest Prayer Deck is 30 prayers for the stuff you wouldn't say in a prayer circle. Every card gives you one line to finish, and that's it. No perfect wording, no cleaning yourself up first.
God, I'm angry that ______, and I don't know where to put it.
I've been telling everyone I'm fine about ______. I'm not.
I stopped praying about ______ because nothing changed.
The thing I'd never say out loud is ______.
You fill in the blank. Then you read the verse at the bottom of the card, not as a fix for the thing, but as what's true while you're still in it.
That's the whole thing. It's simple on purpose. God's not waiting for perfect, He just wants you.

Fourthwall's description editor handles bold and line breaks but not markdown italics, so the four sample prayers will paste as plain text. Either italicize them with the editor's toolbar or leave them plain, both read fine.
