Effective Prayer
Effective Prayer
Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.
Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, everything you pray and ask for—believe that you have received it and it will be yours. And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven will also forgive you your wrongdoing.”

Pray at all times in the Spirit with every prayer and request, and stay alert with all perseverance and intercession for all the saints.
praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—

And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because he intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.

With the Help of the Spirit, groanings etc. He helps us pray by praying the will of God when we don’t know how or what to pray.
Prayer in other tongues. Our spirit prays(by the Help of the Holy Spirit).
