“LIFE!”

Me-Maw Thoughts

Number 799

August 4, 2026///

To me it is hard to comprehend that we are in August, schools have gone back into session, and if we close our eyes for long, we will be entering 2027.

My thoughts go to the truth of who is guiding each of us in our daily lives! Most of you understand that prayer is important and you may walk in that or you may pray when trouble comes.

But there are situations in our lives that we experience and do not know what or how to pray! The grief may be too deep, the pain in our body may be too bad, the Doctors report may be devastating, or our child may be walking in the way of the culture rather than in the way of the Lord!

There are times when we must decide the action to take in a situation and have no idea what the right one is.

I have been in many of those places, have you!

What do we do? Who do we ask? Who guides us in our lives?

You are probably familiar with these scriptures!

1 Peter 5:7 (KJV) Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

Luke 11:10 (KJV) For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

Those are absolutely guidance in handling the things in our lives!

But what makes these actions effective?

We have a partner to help us pray. And this partner helps us when we do not know how to pray!

The Holy Spirit that lives within each of us will guide our words and communicate with the Father even when we cannot speak!

I want to call your attention to Romans 8:26 and 27

Romans 8:26–27 (KJV) 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.

Have you ever been to a place where you did not know what to pray for and/or all you could do is weep? Those are prayers that a God hears! Those request and hurts and confusions are intersession by the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit always prays in Gods perfect will!

When we praise and worship and all we can do is weep because God is so real and we are in His presence, are praises through the Holy Spirit!

The Holy Spirit wants to help us pray in the most effective way, whether in words we understand or groanings and tears we cannot comprehend!

The Holy Spirit also makes intercession for as we pray in a heavenly language that we do not understand but it is in the perfect will of God.

I know some of you may not understand all or some of what I have shared but the point is that you have the Holy Spirit that wants to help you when you pray! And pray we must! Pray about everything! Go about you day with an attitude of prayer!

The Bible calls it praying without ceasing, meaning living life with the knowledge we are not alone but the Father who created us will guide and lead us every step of the way through the Holy Spirit within us!

Who or what is guiding your daily life and prayer?

Father, I come in Jesus name and thank you for the Holy Spirit who guides and intercedes for us deep inside as we open our hearts to hear! We are not meant to struggle from day to day, and you have sent us a helper to guide us by the gently impressions in our spirit or through our griefs and tears and all other ways we need help! May we all be encouraged that we are never alone! Amen!

Love, MeMaw!
