Prayer and Romans 8:26

Do you know what to pray? How about how to begin?
Do you know how to pray?
I have been a prayer warrior for over twenty-one years and I have to admit, most of the time, I am rather clueless how to pray, what to pray, etc. So, there have been times I have chosen not to pray because I was too intimidated.
Or, I have another problem: Too much to pray. Where to begin?
This verse covers every facet of prayer:

Romans 8:26 Living Bible (TLB)
26 And in the same way—by our faith—the Holy Spirit helps us with our daily problems and in our praying. For we don’t even know what we should pray for nor how to pray as we should, but the Holy Spirit prays for us with such feeling that it cannot be expressed in words.

Read this verse, pray it, prayer journal it and about it, then stop thinking, and pray. It really is that simple.
Nowhere in the Bible does it say you have to be the perfect pray-er for God to hear your prayers.
Nor does the Bible say they have to be perfect, eloquent, fancy prayers.
Just pray. And don't stop. It's really that easy.
