Paul reminds the church that even when we don't know what to pray for we can pray. As disciples of Jesus we have the Holy Spirit inside us, and that Spirit knows us. When we pray to God the Spirit prays with us and guides us. With some practice we can let our mind go a little during prayer and open the channel for the Spirit to guide our prayer.
Blessings on your day,
Sam
Romans 8:22-27
We know that the whole creation has been groaning in labor pains until now; 23and not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly while we wait for adoption, the redemption of our bodies. 24For in hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what is seen? 25But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.
26Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but that very Spirit intercedes with sighs too deep for words. 27And God, who searches the heart, knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.
