Romans 8:26  In the same way the Spirit also helps us in our weakness, because we do not know what to pray for as we should, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with inexpressible groanings. (CSB)

Romans 8:34  Who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is the one who died, but even more, has been raised; he also is at the right hand of God and intercedes for us. (CSB)

Here are some things we need to know about prayer: 

1. We often ask for what we think is good and right from our perspective but is not the good and right God knows is needed. 
2. We do not always know what is best and would pray differently if we did.
3. We, at times, do not know what to pray. We do not know how to put into words what is going on inside our hearts and minds. 
4. The Spirit of God within us clarifies our earnest confusion. He knows the intent of our prayers and expresses it better than we pray.
5. The Son of God at the Father’s right hand brings together our fondest hopes and God’s deepest desires.

Prayer is never an individual matter. Prayer is more powerful than we have considered. The Spirit of God and the Son of God take our prayers to the heart of God with clarity and purpose beyond what we can express. 

Let us pray.

I will pray and trust God to answer better than I ask.

Our Father, teach us to pray. Give us ever-greater devotion to seeking your will and ways in prayer. Make us ever more concerned with your perfect plans and less and less concerned with our best reasoning. Remind us of the deep meaning of having your Holy Spirit and your Son interceding for us. Instruct us with ever-greater clarity regarding this communion in prayer. Amen.

Daily D – Numbers 16:1-3

Numbers 16:1-3 One day Korah son of Izhar, a descendant of Kohath son of Levi, conspired with Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On son of Peleth, from the tribe of Reuben. They incited a rebellion against Moses, along with 250 other leaders of the community, all prominent members of the assembly. They united against Moses and Aaron and said, “You have gone too far! The whole community of Israel has been set apart by the Lord, and he is with all of us. What right do you have to act as though you are greater than the rest of the Lord’s people?”

Psalm 57:7, 8

I will wake the dawn with my song.”

Daily D – Numbers 9:17-18

Numbers 9:17, 18 Whenever the cloud lifted from over the sacred tent, the people of Israel would break camp and follow it. And wherever the cloud settled, the people of Israel would set up camp. In this way, they traveled and camped at the Lord’s command wherever he told them to go. Then they remained in their camp as long as the cloud stayed over the Tabernacle.
