Help Us to Pray

ON THE PALM OF YOUR HAND you write my name, O God.
Through the pages of creation, my life unfolds.
In the chambers of your heart, I have a home, O God,
where every cry is heard, every tear seen,
every thanks
whispered in the dark or sung to the morning
is known to you.
And still, I am slow to thank, to ask, to trust.
O God, who is great and good,
help me to pray.
Amen.

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.

--- Romans 8:26

There are times that we don’t even know how to pray. Maybe we’re very sad, depressed, not enough words can describe our feelings. But Our God is able to help us to pray. With the guidance of the Holy Spirit that will help us in our weakness, the Spirit will help us to communicate those unspeakable words. God, help us to pray because we know only with Your guide, we’ll be able to build a better communication with You. Amen. (-fon-)
