Prayer Partners with God

Our prayer and meditation this morning for Sally’s healing is an excerpt from Hope for Each Day: Words of Wisdom and Faith by Billy Graham.

The Spirit Himself makes intercession

for us with groaning which cannot be uttered

~Romans 8:26

Have you ever faced a situation that was so overwhelming or so confusing you didn’t even know how to pray about it? Have you ever been so overcome with grief or burdened by heartache you couldn’t put your emotions into words—much less pray about them?

What a comfort these words should be: “The Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us . . . in accordance with God’s will.” (Rom. 8:26-27 NIV)

Think of it: Even when we don’t know how to pray, the Spirit knows our needs, and He brings the deepest cries of our hearts before the throne of God. In ways we will never understand this side of eternity, God the Holy Spirit pleads for us before God the Father.

Turn to God in every situation—even when you don’t feel like it. The Spirit is interceding for you. Its accordance with God’s will.
