And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the

Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will look on Me whom they pierced.

Zechariah 12:10

I am the Spirit of Supplication. I receive your prayers and present them to the Father. Many Christians feel as if they don’t know how to pray as they ought, or; as if they don’t properly phrase their prayers. But I help them pray, because “the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered” (Romans 8:26). I make intercession for you too, and the Father hears Me because I pray “according to the will of God” (v. 8:27). So, pour out your heart to the Father; I will be right beside you as the Spirit of Supplication.

Your Prayer

You’ll give people the Spirit of Supplication. Make my prayers effective.

Come teach me to pray, and then pray through me.

I can also give you a greater desire for prayer and actually help you pray. I can answer your prayer requests and teach you the proper attitude of prayer.

Holy Spirit, I want to learn how to be more effective in prayer.
