Enjoyed your essay. Without any "better than you" spirit, please allow me to add two verses. Proverbs 3:6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Nkj

It offers a great way of being in prayer all through the day.

Let me just repeat your verse: Rom 8:26 26 Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession [a]for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

My favorite phrase I have heard is words that cannot be articulated. Tongues, groaning and thoughts all align as we pray for another person or ourselves as we do not know all the circumstances that surround them or us. But, He does!

Thanks for your putting your thoughts into words that I can relate to.

Hi Kevin, thanks so much for reading and for your comment. Yes, I love the way the Proverbs 3:6 fits into this conversation. Well said. "Words that cannot be articulated" indeed. That's what I was trying to get at! Glad this was helpful to you.
