If you’re thinking that that you might want to be perfect in prayer, or for those who think that you might want to do prayer a certain way, for those who were taught that prayer needed to look a certain way, or you simply haven’t got the words, I just need to encourage you to keep in mind that the Holy Spirit intercedes, and once you do not know what to hope for, or for those who don’t pray as you ought, He is interceding for you with groanings too deep for words. What does that mean? It implies that He is in a position to put into words for you before God the things that you simply haven’t got words for, the deep desires and pains of your heart. He is that sort of loving God who would intercede for those things even once you haven’t got the words to articulate them, since it shows you the center of God towards you on the subject of prayer.
