Feeling overwhelmed, don’t know how to pray? Know God IS working it for good, How? One way is By supplying the Holy Spirit to intercede for you! “In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us…We know God cause all things to WORK TOGETHER for our good…”- Know God is working all things together for your good, and part of that is the supply of the Holy Spirit to intercede for you. {Rom 8:26}. And the way the verse is written grammatically is, The Spirit of God is constantly praying for you according to “the will of God!”

No time throughout this day are you not being prayed for! That is God’s goodness towards you and He has it in His Word to assure and encourage you!

  • “HELPS”- We read He “HELPS us in our weakness.” Note Paul did not say “your” but “our.” For he too knew his own weakness. and the Spirit of God helps us. The word “help” was used for someone carrying a heavy load, such as a heavy log, and someone comes and takes the other end and carries the burden with them! He helps us in our weakness and He is Praying for you in your weakness. He is consistently praying for you…
  • “WEAKNESS”- The Greek word for “WEAKNESS.” is “Astheneia” and speaks of “want of strength, weakness, illness, suffering, calamity, frailty.” Helps studies says that “refers to an ailment that deprives someone of enjoying or accomplishing what they would like to do. (asthéneia) focuses on the handicaps that go with the weakness. ” And in such times as always, the Holy Spirit is praying!
  • “INTERCEDES”– Literally means “bending over” to intercede, “confer benefit” and this particular Greek word “huperentugchanó” is used only here in Romans 8:26. -“To Intercede, to make petition for.” The Word “refers to the Holy   interceding in every scene of our lives so we can “come in line with” the Lord’s eternal purpose.”-{Helps studies}. The Holy Spirit is “intervening” for you!

When you are awake, The Spirit of God is praying for you. When you are forgetful, The Spirit of God is praying for you. When you are tempted, the Spirit of God is praying for you. When you have sinned, the Spirit of God is praying for you. When you are sleeping, the Spirit of God is praying for you. When you are suffering the Spirit of God is praying for you. You may feel abandoned, and forgotten in times of trouble but know in your troubles, when you don’t know how or what to pray, there is NEVER A time when the Spirit of God is not interceding for you- According to Romans 8:26!

Know one of the “Good” things God is doing in “working together all things for your good” is having the Spirit of God Intercede for you. How wonderful is that! Pause and think. Someone is constantly praying for you! The Spirit of God!

  • “In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.”-{Rom 8:26-28}

How wonderful is God!

Supplying His Spirit to intercede constantly for you according to “the will of God!” Pause, think on this truth …Praise, Thank Him, that He has gifted you the assurance that part of the “good” He is working out is the supply of His Spirit to constantly pray for you! And the ultimate “good” in Romans 8:28- is eternal glory! -{Read Rom 8:29.}… Heading to Glory! ” There will no longer be any curse; and the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and His bond-servants will serve Him.”-{Rev 22:3}. How “good” is that! You are heading to Glory!

DON’T BELIEVE THE LIE- THINK ON AND LIVE THE TRUTH;

The tendency to think when difficulties arise and we don’t know how or what to pray is that we are on our own, or have been abandoned or forgotten by God – David did {Read Psalm 13:1-2} But the truth is the goodness of God who is working all things together for our good and one of those ways is His supply of the Spirit of God who is continually interceding for you when you don’t know how or what to pray, in your weakness, ignorance. He is praying for you according to the will of God as He knows what to pray for you! And the ultimate good… is your eternal good….eternal glory to be with God! God is good and working all things together for good! –😀

Be Encouraged

God bless, and Praise Him
