Scriptures: Romans 8:26,34; Luke 6:12

Romans 8:26 (NKJV)

“Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.”

Romans 8:26 (MSG)

“Meanwhile, the moment we get tired in the waiting, God’s Spirit is right alongside helping us along… making prayer out of our wordless sighs, our aching groans.”

Romans 8:34 (NKJV)

“Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died… who also makes intercession for us.”

Romans 8:34 (MSG)

31–39 So, what do you think? With God on our side like this, how can we lose?… absolutely nothing can get between us and God’s love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us.

Prayer Watches

6am – Holy Spirit, help my infirmities and teach me to pray beyond human limitation, emotional fatigue, and mental weakness.

9am – Let the intercession of Christ strengthen my petitions until my prayers align with the will of God.

12pm – I receive grace to remain in prayer until divine transactions are completed in the spirit.

3pm – Every accusation of the enemy against my prayer life is canceled by the intercession of Jesus at the right hand of God.

6pm – Lord, translate my sighing, my tears, and my groanings into effective intercession before Your throne.

9pm – I reject shallow prayer; I enter the depths of travail where kingdoms shift and captives are released.

12am – Let every closed gate resisting answers begin to yield as the Spirit makes intercession through me.

3am – Father, school me in the mysteries of prevailing prayer until I carry heaven’s burden with heaven’s language.
