The Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with sighs too deep for words.
(Romans 8:26; RSV).
Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion.
(Ephesians 6:18; NLT).
Let every breath
Become a prayer:
Feelings, thoughts, words, deeds –
The same.
Let every sigh
Become a prayer,
As we hold fast
To Jesus’ name.
Let every stress
Become a prayer:
Pain, sickness, sorrow,
Sins and fears.
Let every test
Become a prayer –
Because our Father
Always hears.

The angel also said, “You are now pregnant and will give birth to a son.
You are to name him Ishmael (which means ‘God hears’),
for the Lord has heard your cry of distress.”
(Genesis 16:11; NLT).
We are confident that he hears us whenever we ask for anything that pleases him. And since we know he hears us when we make our requests, we also know that he will give us what we ask for (1 John 5:14; NLT).
🙏 Amen
