This new Bible song is for people going through trials where they don’t know how to pray, and sometimes not sure if God hears or answers.
But the Bible tells us His Spirit intercedes according to God’s will. Sometimes we don’t know how or what to pray. Be encouraged, the Holy Spirit knows what to pray, so let Him pray through you.

A great way to say or write a prayer is to just take words from the Bible.
The song is based on Romans 8:26-27 where Paul says: And in like manner the Spirit also helpeth our infirmity:for we know not how to pray as we ought; but the Spirit himself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered; and he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

Abba Father I Don’t Know How to Pray
I don’t know how to Pray
But Your Spirit intercedes for me
Let Your Spirit pray through me
Let Your Spirit pray through me
Abba Father I don’t know how to Pray
Let Your Spirit pray through me
Abba Father I don’t know how to Pray
I don’t know how to Pray
But Your Spirit intercedes for me
You pray according to God’s will
Let Your Spirit pray through me
Abba Father I don’t know how to Pray
Let Your Spirit pray through me
But Your Spirit intercedes through me
Let Your Spirit pray through me
This new song also has a basis in Romans 8:15-16 For ye received not the spirit of bondage again unto fear; but ye received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit himself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are children of God
A new Christian song encouraging us to pray and let God worry about our life. The phrase was inspired by Martin Luther who in the 1600’s wrote to his wife in a letter “…Pray, let God worry…”

Sometimes when we pray, it is hard to know who is initiating the prayer. Is it us or God. In Romans 8:26, Paul says the Spirit help us to pray. But sometimes we are seeing a need and start praying. Other times it seems we sense a need for prayer for someone or something. And then there is times we are with others and they initiate the prayer.
Sunset over the Columbia River
We are praying and asking God for the prayer of God. Consider what Jesus talks about in John 15:7. If you are one with the Lord, you are obeying the Lord, you are abiding in the Lord, and His Word is dwelling in you, then you are one with the Lord, and what the Lord wants to pray, you want to pray, what the Lord wants to ask the Father through your prayer, you want to ask the Father. So who is really praying here? Is it us praying or is it God praying? It is kind of hard to understand.

The Example of Elijah in the book of James
James was a man of prayer. In fact, James 5 talks about a similar principle. The last part of verse 16 says, “The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.” Then James goes on to talk about Elijah. Verse 17, “Elijah was a man subject to like passions…” He was a man, just like we are. He had feelings just like you and I have. Then it says, “And he prayed earnestly” or the literal Greek is, “He prayed in prayer” or, “He prayed in his prayer”. It is kind of a strange construction in the English. “He was a man of like passions as we are, and he prayed in prayer that it might not rain”. In other words, Elijah had an experience, here, of not praying his own prayer, but praying the prayer of God. You could say he prayed the prayer that God put on his heart, or prayed the prayer that God burdened him with. Here Elijah was praying the prayer of God.

The Prayer Example of Young Samuel in the Old Testament
We have another prayer example of Samuel in the Old Testament. This is the story of Samuel as a young boy. He was learning how to serve God and how to do the things of God. He was just beginning, or barely beginning to hear the voice of God. At one point, he thought Eli, the priest, was calling him, but he eventually learned that it was the Lord who was speaking to him. The phrase that Samuel repeated back to the Lord at this point was, “Speak Lord, for your servant hears.” In other words, Samuel had the attitude that whatever God would speak, he would hear, and whatever God asked him to do, he would do.
Encouragement to go on with Jesus – that could also be the title of the book of Hebrews.
Jesus is praying for us to be encouraged to move forward with Him.
The author of Hebrews is trying to get the readers to get moving in a positive direction toward Jesus. The writer of Hebrews did not want the believers to go back, shrink back or accidentally fall back to an older way of tradition and legalism. So this verse mentions that Jesus is praying for us. Jesus is praying for us to be encouraged to move forward with Him.
Hebrews 7:25 Wherefore He is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by Him, seeing He ever liveth to make intercession for them. So have confidence in Jesus’ prayer for us.
In the New Testament, everything focuses around Jesus. Jesus is the focus and the way to God. There is no other way.
Here is a short devotional video on “Jesus Prays for Us”
The word “uttermost” indicates the salvation Jesus gives us handles everything, so we can have complete confidence He will bring us to full complete maturity, and not let us slide back to an old dead way such as legalism.
The phrase “He is able also to save” means that Jesus, because He is fully God and fully man, has the ability to save us and free us from sin. Here “save” is not just saving from Hell, but saving us from a sinful life.
The phrase “come unto God by Him” indicates that Jesus is the mediator between us and God. God is Holy and we are sinful. How could we touch or pray to the holy God except by Jesus, who because of His perfect sacrifice, on the cross fully made a way for us to come to God.
The phrase “He ever liveth to make intercession“, means He is constantly praying for us. Don’t worry, Jesus is praying for us. He knows our every need.
I believe Paul wrote the book of Hebrews, but I could be wrong. Many students of the Bible do not agree that Paul wrote it. Some think Paul wrote it and some do not think he wrote it. To my realization the level of understanding of the place of the Old and New Testament, and the understanding of the unique place Jesus has in God’s overall plan and economy dictates that a very well Bible educated and understanding person wrote this book of Hebrews.
The New Testament represents a transition in what God expects and demands. In the Old Testament it was keeping the law, in the New Testament it is believing on Jesus. So we move from legalism to grace.
It is my theory that the letter of Hebrews would be better received by believers in Paul’s day if it was not perceived to have been written by Paul. This is just my theory.
A great transitional verse is John 1:17 where John says: For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. So we move from the “law” to “grace”. So which writer/author of the Bible really understood this and could express it as we see in the book of Hebrews. I think only Paul, but I realize there are other considerations.
Paul had the best understanding of the transition to the new and could wade through the Old Testament Jewish ceremonial law (given by Moses) and interpret in in light of what Jesus did on the cross. Please look at Romans 8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh. Again here we see the law is not able to save man, so God sent His son. Trying to keep the law and legalism will not take us on to maturity in our Christian life. Only grace takes us on.
Also Paul said this in Galatians 2:20 Christ liveth in me:and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. Paul was so clear the new way is just Jesus. The new way is not a compromise between the old and new, and not something added to the old. It is just Jesus as the way, the truth, and the life
Hebrews 7:25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them
This verse in Hebrews indicates that Jesus is praying for us to go on with Jesus and not go back or compromise to an older way such as the law or legalism.
Jesus Prays for Us – Encouragement to Go on with Christ
Out of everything in the whole universe, our human spirit is the most important because it allow us to worship God who is Spirit.
God wants worship, the best (and only) way is to worship God is with our spirit, because God is Spirit. See John 4:24 where Jesus says “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth”. Notice where there is a capital Spirit referring to God, and a lower case spirit related to our human spirit.
So watch this short devotional video on “Worship God in Spirit”
Then in the book of Zechariah, the writer in 12:1 talks about the heavens, the earth and the spirit of man. Zechariah 12:1 “The burden of the word of the Lord for Israel, saith the Lord, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him”.
In the whole universe, our human spirit is the most important because it allow us to worship God who is Spirit. Having a human spirit is like having a radio receiver tuned to the right frequency to connect with and listen to God who on the “Spirit” wavelength.
God loves us. God is love. It is hard to find a religion where God loves man.
God wants an intimate loving relationship between God and man. When man sins, God loves to restore us. He does not give up on us. The Bible is about God and man.
We as sinful man need a mediator between us and a holy sinless God, and that mediator is Jesus Christ.

John 14:21
He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
