Sometimes, we are beaten down and we have allowed circumstances to discourage us to the point we just do not know how to pray. Our backs are against the wall and we are in despair. And our humanity overtakes us. We feel overwhelmed by a series of events that have taken place in our lives. It is in the middle of these happenings, Jesus teaches that both He and the Holy Spirit prays and intercedes for us. Jesus takes our case directly before the throne of God. So when you feel like you do not have the words to say to God, remember Jesus is already interceding in your behalf. Jesus stands as our advocate in heaven with the Father.
Before Jesus left the earth He gave us a promise. He said I am going away, but I am sending you another Comforter, the Holy Ghost and He will guide you in all truth. John 14:16 declares, "I will pray the Father and He will give you another comforter, that He may abide with you forever." And Scripture teaches, when you do not know how to pray as you ought, the Holy Spirit makes intercession for you with groanings that cannot be uttered. He prays for you according to the will of God for your life (Romans 8:26-27).
There are times when our vision is cloudy concerning the will of God. We are faced with several alternative routes and we question which turn in the road is precisely God's Will. It is often that we do not concretely know which way to turn. But the Holy Spirit who abides in every Christian always prays for you according to the will of the Father. And the more time we spend in the Word and in prayer, we cultivate our spiritual relationship and become more sensitive to God's Divine and perfect Will. Ask yourself: Which turn would bring God the most Glory?
The Bible says, we have not because we ask not. So start asking and ask big. Watch God start interceding in even the small circumstances of your daily life. Ask God for wisdom. Ask God for blessing. Ask God for intervention in critical situations. Ask God for healing and deliverance. Ask God for freedom to walk upright and blameless. Ask God to change your heart daily.
God wants His very best for You. He desires to bless you abundantly and accomplish a mighty work in You. So, Ask and keep on asking.
