What to Pray When You Don't Know What to Say

There are many times when we don't know what we should day when we need to pray. Sometimes we are so upset, feed up or etc. and we just don't know what to pray. There are times when we want to pray for something to manifest in our lives, but we just don't have the words. There are even those times in the middle of the night when the Holy Spirit will wake me up and tell me to pray in the Spirit. I don't know what He wants me to pray about or for whom. It could be for me or it could be for someone on the opposite side of the world. I know that there have been times when He woke me up and had me pray, and then the next day I would find out that some natural disaster took place some where and knew that is what He had me pray for.

So what should we do?

Let's look a Romans 8:25-27

Rom 8:25 But if we hope for what we do not yet observe, we eagerly wait for it with patience. Rom 8:26 In the same way, the Spirit also helps us in our weakness, since we do not know how to pray as we should. But the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans too deep for words, Rom 8:27
 When there is something in you life that you need prayer for, let's just say for health. Intentionally set your intent for prayer for tongues (praying in the Spirit) on health. The Holy Spirit then looks into your heart so that He can intercede for you. He then goes before God and intercedes on your behalf. God then works in the area of health so that it can manifest in your life. However, there is a little more to that. Faith must work in you. Faith means, trust and believe. You must trust that God has already done what He says He has done. He has already provided every promise and blessing through Jesus Christ.
Saints in the New Testament means people who believe in Jesus Christ and God our Father. If when you pray believe that you have received then what you pray for will manifest itself in your life. We must look past our circumstance and believe that God is bigger than any circumstance that we face and that He has delivered us from that circumstance.
and the one who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, for the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to God's will.
