Romans 8:26
26 Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.
There are some people who are too smart, too important to really feel like you could talk to them in a normal way. There are some emotions that are too big or nuanced to fit into the words you know, and some that don’t fit into the words available to anyone else either. There are so many experiences and situations that are beyond our understanding, so how do we put our finger on the right question, the right request?
You have a translator. The Bible teaches that because the Holy Spirit is God He has God’s wisdom, perspectives, and protocol. He knows how to say what you should have said, how to articulate what you are feeling, and how to ask what you would have asked if you grasped the situation perfectly. So pray, and trust the power of the perfect prayer, which the Holy Spirit is helping you pray right now.
Prayer prompt: Lord, thank you for being available at all times with the perfect mediator for my prayers.
