Likewise, the Spirit helps us in our weakness, for we do not know what to pray for as we ought. But the Spirit intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.”
Romans 8:26
- There are many things we know we should pray for: forgiveness, strength to overcome temptation, and the coming of God’s kingdom on earth.
- We don’t know everything we should pray for in every situation: healing or endurance during illness, that an application for a job be accepted or mercifully declined, or that we seek advisable risk or maintain security.
- In that uncertainty, we continue praying and rely on God. He knows what we don’t.
