Roms 8: 26
The Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.
This is in reference to our prayer language that the Holy
Spirit grants to us. When we are tired and our mind is unable to think clearly,
our spirit is even sleepy, but we have the need to pray and intercede. When we
are so weak then we become dependent on the Holy Spirit to pray through us and
for us.
The Holy Spirit knows the needs that we are praying for, when
we offer our lips to Him to take over and to pray in tongues; He will take utter
sounds or prayers in the spiritual language which would be unintelligible to
our human mind. It may just sound like groans that come from deep within our
inner being. This would be the Spirit who is interceding for us on our behalf.
In the understanding of the mind, we are temporary too tired
to think but this would not stop our prayers as we can switch over and hand our
needs to the Holy Spirit. This is what Paul says in today’s scripture. The Spirit himself intercedes for us
through wordless groans.
Praying in the Spirit is a gift that the Holy Spirit has
given to all believers and as a gift, the believers can choose to accept it or
not. Those who do can testify to the many blessing that the Holy Spirit has
granted to us. If the Holy Spirit has made all these available to us, then we
must never reject them but to thank Him for it and to gladly receive and operate
in them.
