Praying When you Don’t Know How to Pray


Sometimes we approach God in prayer and we are so burdened we have difficulty forming the right words and phrases. We start to speak a prayer and nothing comes. We are broken and perhaps tears flood our eyes and so we stay there. Suddenly, quietly and without fanfare there is a peace that comes. We haven’t really said anything but we knew we had prayed.

What happened is found in Romans 8:26 which reads, “Likewise the Spirit also helps our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.”

Not to be confused with some unknown gibberish, you never made a sound but the Holy Spirit took your burden to the throne room of God and took care of your need.
