WE CAN’T HELP IT
Welcome! Blessings!
As much as we try and want to, we can’t help it. We can’t help what we lack in knowledge. So we use what we do have to the best of our ability, yet it’s still not enough. But the Spirit of God knows what we don’t, perceives what we can’t see and understands what we can’t even begin to comprehend.
He knows what we need before we ask. When we ask, we know we have a need but we still don’t know exactly what it is that we need. We desire the will of God and earnestly seek for it but the Spirit of God is what aids and enables us to find it. He not only answers our prayers, He prays them! What a blessed consolation! That’s not only what would be called true intercessory prayer, but it’s also divine intervention!
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. And He that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because He maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. Romans 8:26&27
He knows my heart’s desires but He also knows what’s best;
And that is what determines how my prayers will be addressed.
He searches out my heart but also knows what is His mind;
And then accordingly, He leaves what’s second rate behind.
He knows my heart in ways so far beyond my comprehension;
That’s why I say His intercession’s more like intervention!
…For your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask Him…your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. Matthew 6:8 & 32
Be Prevalently Encouraged!

I like this, I have always struggled with prayer. Why should I pray for something that the Lord knows will not happen. If He knows what we need and what He will give us, why do we pray except to thank and praise Him?
God bless you,
