Most Christians only understand how to pray simply on a surface level. Authentic prayer involves not just reciting words, but establishing a connection between our spirits and God’s Spirit. Praying in the Spirit is not just praying silently or using our intellectual minds, but with inspiration, help, and ability from the Holy Spirit. He is the one who gives us the utterance when we do not know how to pray, and takes our prayer lives to a deeper level. During Jesus’ ministry, His prayers of groaning equipped Him to do the supernatural; we have been given the same power and ability. This type of prayer causes miracles and is available to the believer who depends on the prompting of the Holy Ghost. When we rely on Him in our prayer lives, we can get the same results that Jesus got.
