(Mark 9:23) If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes
(Romans 8:26)The Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groaning which cannot be uttered.
The Holy Spirit intercedes for us. Intercession means to help by joining in an activity or effort. God’s Spirit is touched by our troubles. He sighs often as He prays. He cares for us deeply—more than we care for ourselves. He knows the right words to say/God’s will (vs. 27).
I see children reach up their hands to their mom or dad, eager to get their attention. It reminds me of my own efforts to reach up to God in prayer. As Christians we are to focus on loving and praying. Love seems to be the most difficult and prayer is the most confusing. My weakness lies in not knowing the exact thing for what I am supposed to pray. Should I pray that others will be delivered from their troubles—or that their troubles will go away? Or should I pray for courage to carry on through the difficulties that overstress them?
We need to not worry about getting our request/prayers exactly right. We only need to hunger for God and to reach up, knowing that He cares.
When praying, it’s better to have a heart without words than words without hear
