“Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not
know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us
with groanings too deep for words” - Romans 8:26 (ESV)
Sometimes each of us struggle with knowing just how and what
to pray for. Our circumstances can be overwhelming and we can be at a lost in
our need to cry out to God for help. One of the last promises Jesus made to His
disciples was that he would send a helper. That promise is fulfilled through
the Holy Spirit sent from God our Father. All who have believed in Jesus as
their Savior and Lord, and we hope that this is true of you, have the Holy
Spirit in their lives. In this verse today, God explains what is going on while
we are praying. The Holy Spirit is helping us to pray by praying with us to our
Heavenly Father. To start with, we really don't know in ourselves how we should
pray. We do know that if we ask the Holy Spirit to guide us He will impress on
our hearts things to pray for and even how to pray. As we pray we can trust the
Spirit to pray with us and we can depend on Him. We can also trust that God
will hear and answer our prayer.
