Re:Verse passage – Romans 8:26-27 (day two)
for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; vs. 26b
Places where we are weak are often areas where we simply don’t know how to advance, grow, or get better. Where we lack a vision to move beyond weakness, we become stuck. If we are faithful to pray, even in our lack of clarity and understanding, the Spirit begins to provide to traction to move. We begin, because we were faithful, to grow out of complacency or despondency. Our words begin to grasp our situation and we understand our dependency on the power of the Spirit. What begins with confusion will produce spiritual fruit if we will commit to pray…even when we don’t know the words.
