When Prayer Feels Weak

When Prayer Feels Weak

Romans 8:26 tells us that “the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought” (Romans 8:26). Do you ever feel like your prayers are just too weak, and that you barely even know what to pray for? It’s hard enough to find time alone to sit quietly and open the Bible—especially if you have young children like my wife and I. The good news today is that God knew we would all struggle to some degree in our prayer life. He gave us His Holy Spirit to provide the strength we need. So keep trying to pray. You might just find what I have often found—that He answers us even in our weakest moments. Now that’s something to pray about!
