Helping me pray


Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God. – Romans 8.26-27

Sometimes things can seem so bad and so overwhelming that we don't even know how or what to pray. We are at a loss. We can't find the words to express how we feel. I certainly know how that feels. Major bad news comes our way, disaster strikes, or maybe we have to make a decision that we just don’t know how to handle.

There is a solution. There is an answer. We don't have to fret when we don't know how to pray because Someone does know how to pray for us. The one who knows our hearts knows what we need and He knows how to pray for us.

When we are at a loss for words. When our prayer need is do real and so intense and so close to heart that we cannot pray the Holy Spirit Wilde our Help. he will intercede for us. He prays with groanings which are beyond words. We never have to worry about not having the words to pray.

Even better, when He prays for us we can be assured that He will always pray according to the will of God. When He prays in the will of God we can have confidence that His prayers are going to answered.

We are weak. We can't always find the words to pray. But praise God that His Holy Spirit is going to step in and pray in our place
