In the same way the Spirit also comes to help us, weak as we are. For we do not know how we ought to pray; the Spirit himself pleads with God for us in groans that words cannot express. And God, who sees into our hearts, knows what the thought of the Spirit is; because the Spirit pleads with God on behalf of his people and in accordance with his will. – Romans 8:26-27 GNT

The Spirit helps us by praying for us. What does the Spirit ask for when He intercedes for us?

• for things that we do not know we should pray for
• for things that we do not know we should ask for
• for things that that are in accord with the will of God

The intent is clear – I should be encouraged especially when I am weak because the Holy Spirit prays for me So I aim to keep praying.
