Romans 8:26-27 NLT "And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don't know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words. And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God's own will."
Oh, Lord!
I sit here this morning thoroughly amazed and in true awe! I have "known" that Your Spirit Spirit intercedes for me; today but today it finally sunk in deeply! ( I guess I have been a little slow on the uptake...about 40 years late!)
Oh, God! Not only have You saved my miserable soul and forgiven me of all my sins, but You live within me all day everyday...Your very Spirit part of the Godhead, triune, unchanging, perfectly holy, everlasting, just, creator and sustainer of all is, was, or ever shall be is within me, and is with me all day every day.
Today, however, for the very first time, really came to understand that not only are You with me all day every day, but You Spirit-God are praying to Father-God for me! God praying to God for ME in groanings that cannot be expressed in words and You plead for ME when I don't even know what to pray!
That is almost too much for the human brain to wrap itself around to understand, and I will never be able to earn or deserve that kind of love, grace, or mercy. But I can thank You with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength and make myself available to do Your perfect will whatever that is.
