Romans 8:26 (NRSV) — 26 Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness;

for we do not know how to pray as we ought,

but that very Spirit intercedes with sighs too deep for words.

Romans 8:26 (The Message) — 26 Meanwhile, the moment we get tired in the waiting,

God’s Spirit is right alongside helping us along.

If we don’t know how or what to pray, it doesn’t matter.

He does our praying in and for us,

making prayer out of our wordless sighs,

our aching groans.

 

1 Thessalonians 5:17 (NRSV) — 17 pray without ceasing,

1 Thessalonians 5:17 (The Message) — 17 pray all the time;

1 Thessalonians 5:17 (NCV) — 17 Pray continually,

1 Thessalonians 5:17 (GW) — 17 Never stop praying.

James 5:13 (NCV) — 13 Anyone who is having troubles should pray.

Anyone who is happy should sing praises.

 

Put on the armour of God daily.

Trust that God hears your prayers.

Holy Spirit transcribes your every cry for help.

Your prayers are fruitful ...

because He makes them so.

Never stop praying!
