Romans 8:26

“In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.”

Do you ever find yourself at a loss of words to pray? I know that I have on occasion had difficulty knowing what to even pray for let alone what words to use. The above Scripture lets us know that the Spirit is with us to intercede, not just when we don’t know what to pray but even when we do. God does not leave us alone to cope with our problems. It’s not like God does not know what is going on or what we need but he wants to make a connection with us. So, in our difficulties we can turn to him unabashed. He longs for that relationship with us. We in turn, need that relationship to carry on throughout our day. We still might have problems and/or struggles but we can know for certain we are not alone in our lives. What do you need prayer for today?

Dear God.  Please remind me that even when I do not know what or how to pray to you that you have given us your Spirit to intercede. Give me the courage to just step out in prayer even if the words do not come. Help me to know that you still hear and care for me. Forgive me for taking for granted that you are always there for me. You are an awesome and amazing God who cares for all your creation. I ask these things in Jesus’ name. Amen
