Praying in a sequence of sounds not normally part of and not as part of a language you know.
AND TRUSTING HOLY SPIRIT IS CONVEYING THE MEANING TO THE FATHER, TO OUR LORD.

26-28Meanwhile, the moment we get tired in the waiting, God's Spirit is right alongside helping us along. If we don't know how or what to pray, it doesn't matter. He does our praying in and for us, making prayer out of our wordless sighs, our aching groans. He knows us far better than we know ourselves, knows our pregnant condition, and keeps us present before God. That's why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good.

KJV: groanings which cannot be uttered.
perhaps . . . which cannot be put into words, normally.
The prayer language you are referring to can not be written down or conveyed in any way to anyone else. It is strictly a meditative state that you believe helps you in communicating with GOD the FATHER. Is this what it is?
If so, I understand the Baptist distrust of it. It sounds very similar to what Buddhist's do when doing yoga.
I've always thought that the groanings of the Holy Spirit in Romans 8 is the Holy Spirit uttering on our behalf ... not THROUGH us... the Holy Spirit interceding on our behalf to God the Father in a spiritual sense - not a physical sense of coming out of OUR mouth..
This is the closest scripture I've seen to a "private prayer" language .. are there others? I've always wondered how the whole "private" thing came about - as opposed to other scripture where it clearly states there needs to be an interpreter, etc.
