We Don't Know How To Pray

Romans 8:26-27 "Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God."

Recently, I've felt the need to pray more. Like any relationship, our relationship with God is built on the foundation of communication. However, prayer is a discipline that must be practiced and worked at relentlessly and with dedication and tenacity.

But no matter how hard we work at it, we are human's with deep rooted infirmities. His thoughts and ways are so much higher than ours. Our prayers are also on this terrestrial plain, while God's will is in that celestial plain, so very high above us.

Praise be to God for giving us His Holy Spirit. We don't know how to pray like we should. So He makes intercession for us. We do not know what to pray for, so He searches our hearts. Our perception of God's will is so far off sometimes, so He prays on our behalf.

Incredible. Let that truly sink in today.
