When You Can't Pray

Have you ever experienced these moments where you want to pray, you really do. For whatever reasons:

It could be out of self-discipline. You make a point to meditate every day. To pray every morning before leaving your house. Maybe before each meal. Maybe before closing your eyes for a good night sleep.

It could be because you are aching. Feeling desperate. Being sick. Only Heaven can help, you think.

It could be that someone you know is going through a hard time--lost a spouse, a child, a brother. Someone you know needs your prayers.

Still you can't pray. Maybe you think, I don't know how to do it. Or, who am I that God will even listen? Or yet again, does prayer really work?

"In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groans that word cannot express." Romans 8:26

For God so loves us, that His Spirit intercedes for us. There are prayers surrounding us, even when we can't mutter a word.
