Romans 8:26
In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we should pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that are not expressed in words.
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank You for sending us Your Holy Spirit. When the world comes after us from every direction, we sometimes have no idea where to begin with our prayers. What should I ask? Should I ask to overcome this problem, to have the strength to move it out of the way, to ask You to take whatever away, to have the patience to sit in Your love, or all of the above? We are left in the unknown of where to begin.
Then, there are those times when things don’t feel right. We are unsure about what is lurking in the dark around us. We don’t see any problems, but something seems amiss. We don’t know what it is, but we know we need You, so we pray.
We are thankful that Your Spirit knows our every thought and need, even when we don’t know what we need. We can express our concerns and ask the Spirit to pray for us and our salvation according to Your will.
The world will come against us, but we are blessed to remember that You limit these trials no matter how bad things seem. We are also reminded of Paul’s words, “The Spirit helps us in our weakness.” Our ultimate weakness is our sin, and the Spirit has given us faith in our Savior, Jesus, who suffered and died so that whoever believes would have everlasting life.
Through Faith in Jesus, the world’s hardships will one day be over, and we will be home with You forever. Sickness, death, hate, and wars will all be a thing of the past and will never again cause us to suffer. Jesus has removed our sins and restored us to You, and by faith, the Spirit begins in us who hold to these truths.
Send Your Spirit to intercede for our friends, neighbors, and family members who do not yet know You; may Your Spirit work in them and do whatever it takes to crush their unbelief so they will know You and Your Son. Let Your Spirit begin a spark of faith in their hearts so they will have eternal life. Amen.

No one likes to admit their weaknesses, but God already knows yours. He has removed your greatest fault sin so that you have eternal life and salvation through faith in His Son, Jesus.
