Is this one of those nights when, although you feel all right physically, mentally and emotionally, you spiritual strength just isn't up to par? Does it seem that no matter how you try you can't pray?
Maybe you "go through the motions" and mouth the words you think you should say, but your heart just isn't in it and it's hard to believe you're "getting through." You might even become downright tired of trying.
What should you do when this happens? As usual, God has the perfect solution: Let His Spirit do the work! That's what He has come to do...to help you in your weakness, including your weakness in prayer.
Paul tells us: "...the (Holy) Spirit comes to our aid and bears us up in our weakness; for we do not know what prayer to offer nor how to offer it worthily as we ought, but the Spirit Himself goes to meet our supplication and pleads in our behalf with unspeakable yearnings and groanings too deep for utterance" (Romans 8:26, AMP).
