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 – Luke 1:76-79

Luke 1:76-79 And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High;
for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him,
to give his people the knowledge of salvation
through the forgiveness of their sins,
because of the tender mercy of our God,
by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven
to shine on those living in darkness
and in the shadow of death,
to guide our feet into the path of peace.
(NIV)

Daily D – John 20:24-28

John 20:24-28 Now Thomas (also known as Didymus), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!”

But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”

A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”

Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”

Daily D – John 18:10-11

John 18:10, 11 Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, cutting off his right ear. (The servant’s name was Malchus.) Jesus commanded Peter, “Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?”

Daily D – John 13:3-5

John 13:3-5 Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.

Daily D – John 11:6

John 11:6 “So when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was two more days, . . .”
