SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY
Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit Himself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered (Romans 8:26).
Rhapsody of Realities Devotional 11th February 2026 | MESSAGE
Praying in the Spirit is the most effective way for us to pray as Christians. But praying in the Spirit is in two parts. The first is when your spirit prays by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, giving you words in the Spirit in other tongues. As you pray in those tongues, your spirit is energised, built up like a towering edifice: Jude 1:20, “But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost.”
1 Corinthians 14:4 says, “He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself….” This is why we tell God’s people to speak in tongues a lot. It keeps your spirit, soul and body supercharged with the power of God. You’re edified, fortified, strengthened with might in your inner man by the Spirit. Hallelujah!
But then there’s also a second level of praying in the Spirit that’s also of great blessing and benefit. This time, it’s not your spirit that’s praying but the Holy Spirit Himself praying or making intercession through you. That’s what we read in our opening scripture.
In the first one, He gives you utterance, you speak words in tongues. But in this case, there’s no utterance; you don’t speak in a known or unknown language; rather, what comes out of you are deep sighs and groanings of the Spirit. At that level, the Holy Spirit takes over completely, praying through you in perfect harmony with the will of the Father.
When you allow the Holy Spirit to intercede through you this way, the result is always glorious. The scripture says, “…He that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit…” (Romans 8:27). It’s not your mind or your understanding; it’s the Spirit’s mind being expressed through you. The ensuing verse 28 reveals part of the outcome, “…all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose.” Yielding to the Holy Spirit to intercede through you causes all things to align and work out in your favour, including adverse or challenging situations. That’s the power of praying in the Spirit, amongst several other blessings and benefits. Hallelujah!
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for the precious gift of the Holy Spirit, who helps me to pray according to your perfect will. Even now, as I pray in the Spirit, I’m filled with your power, and my life is aligned with your purpose, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
