Now you are ready to make prayer less of a mental struggle to know the truth, and more of a relaxing into His love and peace. Like John, you can be a disciple who rests his head on the Savior's bosom, in tender love and adoration, just as a child would his father or best friend. For now, merely ask the Holy Spirit to put a prayer into your heart. Trust that He'll do this. In order to have Him put a prayer in our hearts, we must leave the carnal struggle in which we insist we have to control everything. We must trust Him. We must humbly give Jesus all control.

The Holy Spirit's prayer does not involve words. His prayer brings a sense of very deep peace and a deep, deep longing for the Savior, Jesus Christ. Ultimately, all prayers are for this, no matter what we may be asking for. Ultimately, we desire a continual walk with our Lord and there is no earthly thing that we want that would satisfy us like He does. The Holy Spirit, then, makes our prayers become a solid string of desires for Jesus as He petitions heaven through us. This is all we want. Praise God, this is all we need!
