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. Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose (Romans 8: 26-28). We are assured and know that [God being a partner in their labor] all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for those who love God and are called according to [His] design and purpose (Romans 8:28 – Amplified).
I have an alert inside to spend some extra time now praying in the spirit, that is, in other tongues. When you pray in the spirit, you’re tapping into God’s eternal plans; for your life, for your family, for your nation, for the world.

But in God’s great big ocean you’ll find His purposes for all the issues concerning both of your life and things that concern the greater whole; others, your church, your nation, and the world.
Today we need praying that is broader and bigger that will enable the Spirit of God to undertake and manifest. Praying in the spirit gets the job done in prayer! Praying in the spirit enables you to pray the perfect will of God for everything! It’s absolutely unlimited praying.
Often, when someone or some event comes to my mind I say, Lord, I’m going to take some time to pray in the spirit about this. Anything I need to pray regarding this I trust that you will help me pray out as I pray in the spirit! Often when I do this, He gives me things in English to pray about the situation too.

t’s absolutely thrilling to be a fruitful branch of the vine! All of life’s issues should start and end in your prayer life. Take time today to pray in the spirit!
