Our Daily Grace: The Spirit Intercedes

"If we can't pray, it's okay. God knows the deepest longings of our heart, and His Spirit prays for us the prayers we don't even say."

Susannah St. John

"Meanwhile, the moment we get tired in the waiting, God's Spirit is right alongside helping us along. If we don't know how or what to pray, it doesn't matter. He does our praying in and for us, making prayer out of our wordless sighs, our aching groans. He knows us far better than we know ourselves.. and keeps us present before God. That's why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good."

Romans 8:26

There are times when we feel too exhausted, anxious, frustrated or troubled to even put our thoughts together into prayer. But it doesn't matter because in those moments, the Holy Spirit keeps us connected with God and prays for us and through us. He knows just what we need and understands all our deepest feelings and longings, and He prays the perfect prayer for us. And we can be sure His prayer is answered!

A thought: The dear Holy Spirit prays for me.

May the amazing grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the extravagant love of God, and the intimate friendship of the Holy Spirit be with all of you. 2 Co. 13:14
