Sometimes you’re hurting so much that you don’t even know what to pray or how to pray. Sometimes a situation feels so painful that you’re at a total loss for words. So you get down on your knees, and all you can do is cry. You know what? That’s a prayer to God. These verses promise that the Holy Spirit knows what’s going on in your life, and he’ll intercede for you with God. When you have no words to say, let the Spirit turn your sighs into prayers to God. He promises to hear.
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.
