182: The Holy Spirit is praying for you | Romans 8:26

When you don't know how to pray or feel like your prayers are hitting the ceiling, take comfort in the fact the the Holy Spirit is praying to God FOR YOU on your behalf. We all face some rough times in our prayer lives. Maybe you feel like you've never really known how to pray. This is paralyzing for many Christians, but it doesn't have to be. How do I know this? Our One Verse for today, that's how. Romans 8:26 says that the Holy Spirit prays for us, even when we don't know what to pray! How cool is that? That gives me some much comfort and encouragement. It also gives me confidence in my prayer life. I don't need to pray the perfect prayer (pro tip: There is no perfect prayer). Instead, I know I can simply share my heart, and the Holy Spirit will take care of the rest. Have you struggled in your prayer life? That's ok. Keep going. The Spirit of God has got your back.   About One Verse One Verse is a short, free podcast devotional designed to help you grow closer to God through less than 5 minutes a day, 5 days a week.
