“Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit Himself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.” (Romans 8:26)
There are many times when the right words cannot be formed on our lips to express an appropriate prayer. The sorrow is too deep, the pain is almost unbearable, or the financial or health need is beyond our reach. You try to pray, but find yourself tearfully repeating in low, agonizing tones, “Oh, God. Oh, God”
Finally a peace settles over you. What happened? The Holy Spirit knew what you needed and made proper intercession for you with a groaning greater than any word you could have formed.
Beloved, when you trusted Christ as your Savior and surrendered your life to Him, the Holy Spirit came to live in you. He continues to help you, enable you and make intercession for you in ways you cannot imagine. If you have put off giving your heart to Him, I encourage you to do that today.
