Don't Know How to Pray?

The Holy Spirit will help you in prayer when you don't know how to pray.

Romans 8:26-27

In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will.
 
Pray with Humble Heart.
 
2 Chronicles 7:14

If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
 
Pray with Wholeheartedness
 
Jeremiah 29:13

You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
 
Pray with Faith.
 
Mark 11:24

Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
 
Pray with Righteousness.
 
James 5:16

Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.
 
Pray with Obedience
 
1 John 3:22

And we will receive whatever we request because we obey him and do the things that please him.

Why should we pray?  Prayer Develops Our Relationship with God.

If we never speak to our spouse or never listen to anything our spouse might have to say to us, our marriage relationship will quickly deteriorate. It is the same way with God. Prayer + communicating with God = helps us grow closer and more intimately connected with God.
 
Thank you for the Holy Spirit!
