DAY 16 // THE HOLY SPIRIT HELPS US PRAY + INTERCEDES FOR US

Romans 8:26-27

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.

One of the beautiful things about the Holy Spirit is that He makes sure our prayers get to the heart of God. In times when we can’t seem to get a thought out in prayer, the Holy Spirit steps in and helps. In times of deep distress, the Holy Spirit carries us in prayer right into the presence of God where help and healing can be found. We may not think our prayers are effective, but the Holy Spirit empowers us when we feel weak and inadequate in our praying.

Pray…

· That the Spirit would build confidence in you as you pray.

· That the Lord would encourage each believer to know that they are not praying alone.

· That God would build faith as He answers prayers in ways that go beyond our abilities to pray them.
