Romans 8:26-28 English Standard Version 2016 (ESV)
For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.
First thing I thought of when I saw the title. Takes all the pressure off of praying.
None of us really knows what to pray for - Moses didn't know, Paul didn't know ("Three times I asked the Lord to remove this thorn in my side, but He said NO....")
That is precisely the verse I was thinking of. The Holy Spirit knows your needs without you having to verbalize them.

AMEN!!
When my wife had her stroke she could not speak or even think clearly. Later she told me she tried to pray but the words in her mind were jumbled and she couldn’t. She then felt a calm of grace sweep over her and she felt the holy spirit pray for her as in Romans.
