Key Scripture: Romans 8:26

The Spirit helps us in our weakness…

Devotional

There are moments when prayer feels heavy and words feel out of reach. Romans 8:26 reminds us that silence does not disqualify us—God meets us even there. When we don’t know what to pray, the Spirit steps in.

Prayer is not always eloquent. Sometimes it is tears, groans, or quiet surrender. God does not require clarity before He responds; He meets us in weakness with compassion.

These moments teach us to depend on God rather than ourselves. Not knowing what to pray is not failure—it is an invitation to trust the Spirit’s intercession.

When words fall short, God’s presence remains. Let Him carry what you cannot articulate today.
