Prayer Isn’t Performance—It’s Surrender
“In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.” — Romans 8:26 (NASB 1995)
Sometimes prayer feels awkward. Silent. Confusing.
You don’t always know what to say—or how to say it.
That’s okay.
Romans 8:26 gives you peace: The Spirit prays when you can’t. You don’t have to impress God. You just need to come to Him. The Spirit fills the gaps.
Your weakness doesn’t disqualify your prayers—it makes them real. And the Spirit is right there, turning your sighs into intercession.
Challenge:
Next time you feel stuck in prayer, sit with God in silence. Trust the Spirit to speak for you.Prayer:
Holy Spirit, thank You that I don’t have to figure out the perfect prayer. Meet me in my weakness and draw me closer to the Father. Amen.

I’m a follower of Christ, learning daily to walk the narrow path laid out in His Word. Through Rooted & Raised: Anchoring Women & Children in Christ, I simply seek to point others back to Scripture, tested by the Holy Spirit, lived out in faith, and anchored in truth.
● This space isn’t about lofty theology or grand platforms. It’s about humble obedience, Kingdom living, and helping others, especially women and families, rediscover the kind of faith that bears fruit, costs something, and reflects the love of Christ. My heart is to encourage others as I learn, grow, and surrender alongside them.
