Romans 8:26-27
As a human being, knowing what to pray for is sometimes very hard. If I could see the future and know tomorrow like I know yesterday perhaps it would be easier to bring requests to God who knows it all. In my frustration it becomes easier to simply pray "Your will be done" than to bring a specific request to the Father. But once again the Holy Spirit comes to help!
I stand before God like a helpless
child not knowing what request I need to make. Then the Holy Spirit
brings to God the perfect request. The Holy Spirit who lives in me
and knows every part of my body, soul and spirit along with the
future brings requests to God on my behalf. So when I pray "Lord
strengthen me today" the Holy Spirit lists a thousand ways that
God might do that for my eternal benefit!
When I pray for God's blessing on you
the Holy Spirit translates that request into specifics that I could
never know! That is how the simple prayer of a child of God roars
through eternity with the power of the Holy Spirit expanding to
infinity the impact of that prayer!
When you learn to pray in league with
the Holy Spirit the power of God is unleashed in ways you might never
have imagined. You are no longer surprised at miraculous answers to
prayer. And you even see the power of God working in ways that you
didn't ask for but were in response to your prayers with the help of
the Holy Spirit!
"Lord Jesus I don't know what to
pray for today, but I come to You knowing that the Holy Spirit is
bringing to You my real needs and more detailed requests for others
than I could ever imagine! Lord teach me to pray! Praise Your name
forever! Amen."
