Prayer When You Don't Know What to Pray

Father, in the name of Jesus, I thank Your for calling me to be a fellow workman – a joint promoter and a laborer together – with You. I commit to pray and not to give up.

Jesus, You are the Son of God, and I will never stop trusting You. You are my High Priest, and You understand my weaknesses. So I come boldly to the throne of my gracious God. There I receive mercy and find a grace to help when I need it.

There are times I do not know what I ought to pray for. Holy Spirit, I submit to Your leadership and thank You for interceding for us with groans that words cannot express. You search hearts and know the mind of the spirit, because you intercede for the saints in accordance with God’s will.

Therefore, I am assured and know that (with God being a partner in my labor) all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for my good, because I love God and am called according to [His] design and purpose.

I resist the temptation to be anxious about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything by prayer and petition [definite requests] with thanksgiving continue to make my wants (and the wants of others) know to God. Whatever I ask for in prayer, I believe that it is granted to me, and I will receive it.

You made Christ, Who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be right with You through Christ. Now my earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer makes tremendous power available – dynamic in its working. Father, I live in you – abide vitally united to You – and Your words remain in me and continue to live in my heart. There fore, I ask whatever I will, and it shall be done for me. When I produce much fruit it brings glory to my Father – the Father of my Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
