For When We Don't Know What to Pray

"Lord, I do not know what to ask of you; only you know what I need. I simply present myself to you; I open my heart to you. I have no other desire than to accomplish your will. Teach me to pray. Amen." -François de Fénelon

When we don't know what to pray, we simply tell God so. Then we tell Him what we do know: we want His Will to be done. His Spirit will not only teach us to pray, but also to do as God wants us to. I believe this is one kind of prayer that our Lord truly loves to hear.

Father, thank You once more for knowing us better than we know ourselves and for answering our prayers even when we don't know what to pray. Remind us to present ourselves to You often for Your purposes. Thy Will be done. Amen.
