And the Holy Spirit
helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray
for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed
in words. And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is
saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God’s own will.
And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of
those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.
Romans 8:26-28 NLT
I admit it: there are
many times I open my heart to pray,
and I can find no words. Groanings that
can’t be expressed in words – that’s exactly what it’s like! There are times when I’m overwhelmed, tired, afraid,
upset, lonely, uncertain, discouraged, hurting – I’m grateful the Holy Spirit
takes over. He lifts up my prayers to
God. When
I can’t.
I came across this quote some time ago – I didn’t make a
note of the author:
When praying to God.
God knows what you need and the Holy Spirit will lift up your prayers and will
shape those prayers in ways that we as humans can’t begin to imagine.
