God Prays for Us.




"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

Sometimes when I am grieving a loss or feeling depressed I think of this verse. I remember that even if I can't find the words to express my anguish - the Holy Spirit can. This amazes me: The thought that God through the Holy Spirit feels what I feel and understands completely. And not only understands, but intercedes and prays for me.

How and why this is done I do not know; but I believe it is so, and this gives me great comfort.
