Random question... When you pray, do you have to use actual words? Or can you just close your eyes and be in an attitude of prayer as snapshots of situations in your life pass by your eyes? Because most of the time when I have several situations pressing on me, trying to articulate with words to God about them ruins the attitude of trust/prayer for me. The more I try and articulate the situation and why I'm feeling the way I feel about it, the worse my nervousness/worry/anxiety grows and I'm no longer trusting Him, but simply freaking out about the situation. But when I just "feel" situations to God as the snapshots rise up before me, it grows much more a trust in Him.

Interested in any thoughts. Also asked it on Facebook, so we'll see how people answer there.

Anybody else pray like this?
