Tuesday, June 9: “Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up” (Luke 18:1). Father, sometimes we admit we get tired in our praying. Forgive us and thank you that call us to keep coming to you and not give up.
Wednesday, June 10: “In the same way the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans” (Romans 8:26).
