Romans8:26-27
In the same way the Spiritalso helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but theSpirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; and He whosearches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedesfor the saints according to the will of God.
Pray,even when you don’t know what to pray!
Thispassage is right, isn’t it? We’re weak in prayer. We often don’t know how topray about something. We know that we long for God to heal someone, or to bringsome other outcome. But we don’t know what God wants in this particularsituation, and so we hesitate.
ButGod doesn’t want you to hesitate. He wants you to pray about it. Tell Him youdon’t know what to pray, but here is what you want. Express your heart to Him.God promises you in this passage that the Holy Spirit whom He’s placed in yourheart will take your request and intercede for you according to the will ofGod. God will receive your desire for Him to do His will in the situation andwill respond with His will.
Godwill get involved because you prayed, even though you were not sure how to prayabout it.
God’sinviting you to make prayer a much more central part of your life.
