#praying right

[fearlessonthecoast]

I can't quote the verse, but I heard there's one that says that all have fallen short, so maybe I still have a chance. And it's heavy on me the shame I feel for not giving thanks for my blessings. Am I worthy of an answer? I've got questions. Can I sing Amazing Grace with last nights whiskey on my breath? Do I deserve your love with the little bit of faith I've got left? Am I saying the right things? Am I getting through? Is it too late to turn to you? I'm trying, Lord I'm trying to find the light. Tell me am I praying right?

My friend called me Sunday and asked me if I wanted to go. Part of me wanted to and part of me didn't know. Can I wear my boots and jeans? Will everybody stare at me? Like they know how long it's been. I've got questions. 'Cause I've been treating my soul like an old run down shack. All my demons living rent free on my back. So, when I walk in with all my sins I know I won't blend in, but can you forgive me? I've got questions. Can I sing Amazing Grace with last nights whiskey on my breath? Do I deserve your love with the little bit of faith I've got left? Am I saying the right things? Am I getting through? Is it too late to turn to you? I'm trying, Lord I'm trying to find the light. Tell me am I praying right?

Do I have to hit my knees and raise my hands in church on Sunday? Or do you still hear what's in my heart when I pray in my own way? Can I sing Amazing Grace with last nights whiskey on my breath? Do I deserve your love with the little bit of faith I've got left? Am I saying the right things? Am I getting through? Is it too late now to turn to you? I'm trying, Lord I'm trying to find the light. Tell me am I praying right? Tell me am I praying right?

Good Morning!☀

Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Romans 8:26

There are times in life when words fail us. Times when words seem inadequate to express what we are feeling and we are hard pressed to know how to pray.

Fortunately God has made provision for those times and the fact that we often do not pray as we should. The Holy Spirit prays for us as well, according to the will of God, making up for our errant prayers and inadequate words. Since the Spirit knows what is in our heart, he can address the cry of our heart when our head is unsure of what to say.

Because of the work of the Holy Spirit we can rest assured God hears even the prayer we have not found the words to pray. We can come to him praying the best we know how knowing that the Holy Spirit will pray for us aright if we are praying amiss!
