The Holy Spirit

We don't talk much about the Holy Spirit. Perhaps we aren't comfortable with emotion we often equate with our Pentacostal brothers and sisters. But as I was reading today in Romans I think we might be missing something.

Romans 8:26 says "And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don't know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words."

Groaning seems deep to me, taking our needs, and maybe wants, to the throne of God and placing them before Him when we don't know what to pray for. Or maybe sometimes joining our prayers.

This is so comforting - knowing I am not alone. The Holy Spirit is interceding for me and the needs in my life.

Thank you Lord.
