I like the way Wesley acknowledges that it is God Who inspires and then accepts our prayers.
Jesu, my Savior, Brother, Friend,
On Whom I cast my every care,
On Whom for all things I depend,
Inspire, and then accept, my prayer.
Excerpt from a 7-stanza hymn by Charles Wesley (1707-1788) in Hymns and Sacred Poems, 1742.

I'm glad that the Holy Spirit makes intercession as well! So often, I don't even know what to pray or even how to ask. But God is good and even takes care of me when I don't know how to take care of myself!
Amen. And even though we often don't recognize it, He always works all things together for our good.
