You don’t have to be articulate to be heard. Heaven isn’t a debate class.

Being heard does not require being good with words. Plenty of people stay quiet in prayer because they are embarrassed at how it comes out, as if there were a standard of phrasing to clear before anything registers. Nothing here is a performance being scored. Half-formed, repetitive, ungrammatical honesty gets through fine.

Say the awkward version. Talk the way you actually talk, including the parts that make no sense, and do not tidy it first. If no words are available at all, sit there anyway, because presence is a kind of speech too.
