Prayer Thot for the Day (Jun 27)

Holy Spirit Helps In Your Distresses

Backgrounder on Romans 6-8:
Paul anticipates questions arising
fr hearing gospel of grace. If God’s
grace is free, then am I free to sin?
If I am free from the law, then can
I ignore the ethical demands of
the law? Paul has no illusions that
becoming a Christian means the
end of your troubles. But the life
-giving Spirit provides confidence,
for victorious Christian living
in the storms of everyday life.

Lord, we will Pray with Your Spirit:
The Spirit helps us in our weakness.
We do not know what we ought to
pray for, but the Spirit intercedes
for us with groans that words
cannot express. He who searches
our hearts… intercedes for the
saints in accordance with the
will of God (Rom 8:26-27). And
we know that in all things God
works for the Good of those who
love him, who have been called
according to his purpose(28)Amen

Lord, I don’t know how to pray
about certain things, but You do.
Holy Spirit,Help me in my weakness
by interceding for me and thro me.
You know the will of the Father
and You know what to pray for.
Guide me and teach me especially
when I have exhausted all words.
Help me to communicate to God
my deepest thoughts, feelings,
fears and doubts, so that my
prayers are pleasing to God. Amen

Holy Spirit, thank you for praying
through us in perfect agreement
with Father God’s will. And thank
You Lord Jesus for interceding for
us at the throne of Almighty God.
When we don’t know the words
to say or have no words at all,
please take over and carry our
sighs, groans and tears into
God’s holy presence for us.
What amazing grace. Amen.

Lord, thank you for the Spirit’s
help in difficult times and the
Spirit’s intercession for me when
I am overwhelmed by trouble.
In the middle of intense trials and
great pain, we often can’t pray.
We don’t know what to say; and
don’t have the strength to muster
the right words. And I trust You
to take my distress & work things
out for my Ultimate Good. Amen.
