Jesus, the more I know You the more I want to be led by You, more precisely, led by Your Holy Spirit in all my prayers and intercessions. Your Word tells me that the Spirit helps us in our weakness, interceding for us when we don’t know how to pray as we ought.1 I ask that Your Spirit will guide my prayers according to Your will, giving me words that align with Your purpose.
Lord, teach me to pray at all times in the Spirit, with all kinds of prayers and requests, staying alert and persevering in prayer for all the saints.2 May I not only pray with my mind but also with my spirit, allowing the Holy Spirit to shape every thought and word that rises up in intercession.3 Help me to build myself up in the most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit.4
I lift-up prayers for all people, trusting that You will move mightily through these petitions.5 Fill me with the same Spirit that descended upon Your apostles, empowering them to pray and speak boldly as Your Spirit gave them the ability to do so.6 May I walk in step with Your Spirit, forsaking the desires of the flesh and seeking only to do what pleases You.7
Holy Spirit, You are my Helper. Remind me of all that Jesus has taught me and lead me in wisdom and understanding as I intercede for others.8
Pour out a spirit of grace and supplication on me, so that my prayers may rise before You as a fragrant offering.9 Let my intercession be aligned with Your will and assist in the deliverance and growth of those I lift before You.10 I surrender my prayers to You, Lord, and am trusting that through Your Spirit they will be effective and pleasing in Your sight.
