Practically speaking, prayer is only effective because God is absolutely sovereign. It is part of His Master Plan that we would go to Him as His people. Prayer, in the Spirit forms us to think about God, the Gospel, and even ourselves in the right way. Prayer is powerful and it has a point because it is relational. Language is relational because it comes from God and what is prayer but language.
When we pray we are engaging in and enjoying communion with God - that is the point of prayer. Because He is who He is, we can pour ourselves out to Him, being formed by the language of the Spirit, and not getting it twisted that we go to God as little gods ourselves. But rather, we are His children. Prayer is not governed by our punch list but rather it's our personal connection to God, through language.
Beloved, when you pray, that Spirit forms your language and He builds you up to trust what God is doing in all things, and to go to Him with everything. We pray because God is sovereign, otherwise, it would be pointless. Ask the Lord to help you believe and be formed by the fact that "The Spirit Supplies the Language to Make Prayer Personal".
