Hosea 10 & 11, Romans 8: 18-39, Psalm 109: 1-20
Romans 8: 26-27 (ESV)
“Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not
know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us
with groanings too deep for words. And he who searches hearts knows what is the
mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to
the will of God.”
Verses 26 and 27 from Romans 8 shows Paul describing how the
Holy Spirit helps us. Christ said he will send the Holy Spirit to help us with
prayers to God. Paul tells us the Holy Spirit intercedes for us when we don’t
know what to or how to pray for what we want. I have been learning this year to
rely on the Holy Spirit for prayers and to ask the Holy Spirit for guidance. I
used pray only to God and Jesus Christ only and thinking of them as
interchangeable, until my pastor preached on reaching out to the Holy Spirit earlier
this year. It feels like I now have extra help when talking to God. Now that I
couldn’t talk to God on my own, but it’s nice having the Holy Spirit there as
well to convey everything that I cannot say or forget to say. Jesus Christ said
there is a trinity of God, himself, and the Holy Spirit, and I now know exactly
what he meant.
