What the Bible Says about Prayer (3)

Sometimes we need help to pray. Romans 8:26-27 tells us (KJV from www.biblegateway.com):
"
26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
"

The spirit is always willing to help us, even if we cannot understand it.
We should pray to discover the will of God for our lives and also to gain perspectives on our own life. We should pray to achieve peace of mind and to strengthen our spiritual connection with those around us (James R.Mitchell).

We should constantly ask God what we are suppose to do with our talents and skills. How we can use them to help people, how we can use our gifts, energy and abilities towards the work of making this a better world. Prayer show us the correct path and maintain us in the correct direction that God has chosen for us.
