The Spirit of Christian Prayer

"The Spirit alone supports us when we cry out to God in distress over sin. Many people talk about the power of prayer as if our words or will could move God. The Scripture say the Spirit is the real power of prayer, giving life, vigor, and strength to our prayer, and making it persuasive to God. When we can't drag ourselves out of bed, he enables us to pray with 'groans that words cannot express' (Romans 8:26)."
