Looking for a way to dress up that lone package of ground beef? General Mills offers individuals a quick and easy way to present that ground beef in a more tasty manner. Wikipedia states that the contents of the box are combined with browned hamburger meat, water, and milk (something the cook has to have on a hand already) to create a complete dish.
In the same way, God has given the believer a prayer helper—the Spirit. When we combine the Spirit with our weaknesses and willingness to pray, we have a prayer that is complete and free of selfish ambition and manipulation. The Spirit knows the mind and heart of the Father and only prays according to His perfect will.

What a fabulous analogy, Wanda! I will never look at Hamburger Helper the same way again 🙂 Thanks for participating!
i came on over from Yvonne's blog. lovely blog you have. always nice to meet another Lover of God on the web.
You've made me hungry…to pray … to eat. Think I'll make Hamburger Helper my last meat meal before Lent begins.
This is simply wonderful Wanda.
I so agree with this post, we do have a Holy Helper!
I really like your recipe for prayer: Spirit, weakness, willingness to pray. Our prayer pantry should never be without any of these.
Great thought for the day. It's amazing to me how God uses everyday activities or fixins to teach us about the spirit realm. It's those little things that give us just the right food for thought and food for the spirit.
I confirm and believe every lines you wrote here.
Without the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we will all fall down?
Came for a refreshment. Blessings.
