Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but that very Spirit intercedes with sighs too deep for words. And God, who searches the heart, knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. Romans 8:26-27
There have been times when I knew I needed to pray for someone, or about something, but did not have the words. Maybe I did not know the situation (but knew someone needed prayer), sometimes I just don’t know what to ask for. These are the times our prayer lives can grow, as well as our trust in God. Don’t know what to pray for? Just go to God in prayer. As the Holy Spirit to intervene, to take over. Sit in the silence and listen for God. Take the time and allow whatever words come, for the Spirit will intercede, you will pray and the Father will hear.
Peace,
