Praying

Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. Romans 8:26-27

I feel like since coming to New Mexico, I haven’t been praying as much. When I pray there are specific things and I know God hears and answers. I have a desire to have a deeper prayer life but I have let other things get in the way of prayer that shouldn’t. I haven’t let Holy Spirit help, I haven’t sought Him. When He searches my heart, I have quickly distracted with something else.

Today I realized how little time I have given God. I am still reading the word and writing daily, but I look at this journal and see the missing days, realizing how much time has passed. I want a Spirit led life but I have chose to back off praying, in the Spirit and in English.

Lord, today I quit putting You off. I need You. I want You. Teach me to pray more consistently, fervently and in Your Spirit to accomplish what You want to accomplish through me. In Jesus name amen.
