Prayer (26 July 2026)
HOW TO PRAY
Concerning any matter, we need to pray. Now let us consider how to pray.
4. “Praying in the Holy Spirit”; “Praying at every time in spirit”; “The Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings which cannot be uttered” Jude 20; Eph. 6:18; Rom. 8:26-27
To pray is to contact God and touch His heart’s desire. Only the Spirit of God knows the things of God (1 Cor. 2:11). Therefore, prayer must be in the Holy Spirit and in our spirit. The Holy Spirit dwells in our spirit and is mingled as one with our spirit. When we pray in our spirit, we also pray in the Holy Spirit. When we pray with our spirit, we pray by the Holy Spirit. Praying in spirit and with our spirit means to pray according to the feeling of our deepest part, not according to our thoughts, opinions, or determinations. Praying according to our thoughts, opinions, and determinations is to pray with our mind. We pray with our spirit only when we pray according to the feeling of our deepest inward part, because the feeling in our deepest inward part is of our spirit and from our spirit. If we pray according to the feeling of our deepest inward part, we will also pray in the Holy Spirit and by the Holy Spirit. This kind of prayer easily contacts God, touches His heart’s desire, prays forth His will, and receives His answer and accomplishment.
Often the Holy Spirit gives us a burden, but our mind cannot understand the meaning of the burden. It cannot translate the burden into words that can be prayed. At such times the Holy Spirit intercedes for us with groanings that cannot be uttered. Thus, the groanings in our deepest inward part often are a kind of spiritual prayer. Sometimes we have a heavy burden within, but we cannot utter anything in prayer to God; we can only groan. After groaning within, the heavy burden is gone. This kind of groaning comes from the Holy Spirit’s abiding in us. The Holy Spirit’s groaning is according to the will of God, so God listens to this kind of groaning prayer. We must not lightly value, interrupt, or suppress this groaning. We should go according to our inward feeling and allow the Spirit to groan within us. Thus, we will pray freely in the Holy Spirit, out of the Holy Spirit, and through the Holy Spirit.
5. “According to His will” 1 John 5:14; Matt. 26:39
Prayer that is truly spiritual asks God to accomplish His will. Therefore, we must not pray according to our own will but according to God’s will. The Lord prayed in this way in the Garden of Gethsemane. Our prayer should also be according to His will. In order to pray in this way, we must abide in the Lord and pray in and by the Holy Spirit.
