Help from the Holy Spirit

 

“In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express.”

—Romans 8:26

Times arise in every person’s life when the circumstances seem so overwhelming that we simply cannot pray. We don’t know what to ask God to do. And, we seem so stricken by what has happened that words fail us.

In those times, it is a great comfort to know that the Holy Spirit will gladly pray in our behalf. The Spirit knows what we need. He knows what to ask the Father for in our behalf. And, He can give us a sense of comfort from the knowledge that He is caring for us.

Notice what the Apostle Paul wrote in Romans 8:26:

In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express.

As we begin a new day, let’s not hesitate to ask the Holy Spirit to pray in our behalf whenever we just can’t find the right words to say. He will gladly do this for us. And, He will bring supreme comfort to our minds and hearts. We can move forward knowing that the best possible prayers have risen to the Father in our behalf.
