For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought!

Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.  Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God. (Romans 8:26-27)

We live in such challenging times; various groups at odds with one another, politicians all amuck, families fractured, restrictions because of Covid-19, school systems in flux. These past few months I at times have not known how to pray or what to pray! 

Fear seems to be everywhere! People fear certain groups. We fear a further spread of the virus. We fear the future of our political system. I know I fear for our kids and grandkids that they don't give in to society's norms but seek after God!

What do we pray but His will? How can we pray but in His will? Then we wait . . . Serve and wait! We still gotta work!

Lord, help me to never give in to the day to day doldrums of this world view, but keep me focused on Your will! Thank God for His Spirit and how He intercedes on our behalf, when we don't know what or how to pray!
