Also, the Spirit helps us. We are very weak, but the Spirit helps us with our weakness. We don’t know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit himself speaks to God for us. He begs God for us, speaking to him with feelings too deep for words. God already knows our deepest thoughts. And he understands what the Spirit is saying, because the Spirit speaks for his people in the way that agrees with what God wants. Romans 8:26-27 ERV

The Spirit helps us pray. When we are weak or don’t know what to ask for, the Holy Spirit steps in and intercedes with groanings beyond words. That means our confusion, pain, and silent longings are not wasted or ignored. God hears the Spirit’s intercession and knows the heart behind our words. Trust this: even when you cannot find the words, the Spirit is praying for you and aligning your needs with the Father’s wisdom and love. Rest in that care and let it free you from shame about imperfect prayers. Praying for others from the heart or in person the Holy spirit works through you both or all that are praying. You can even write letters to God as you journal. You can always read back in your journal and see how God worked in your prayers. This is where you see the miracles happen.

Holy Spirit, I thank You and praise You for Jesus leaving You with me to come and pray through me when I cannot. Give voice to my deepest needs, shape my longings to match the Father’s will, and bring comfort where I am weak. Thank You for interceding on my behalf Holy Spirit and for making my heart known to God our Lord and Savior in His Mighty Precious Name Amen.
