Praying for Us
Likewise, the Spirit helps us
in our weakness. For we do no 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 know what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for
the saints according to the will of God (Romans 8:26-27).
It is encouraging to know
someone is praying for you. It reminds us that we are not alone in the struggle
to live faithfully before the Lord. How much more encouraging to know the Son of God is constantly
interceding on our behalf? The author of Hebrews writes; But because Jesus
lives forever, his priesthood lasts forever. Therefore, he is able, once and
forever, to save those who come to God through him. He lives forever to
intercede with God on their behalf (Hebrews 7:24–25). We are saved by Christ and supported by the
Son and the Spirit through unceasing prayer. Our needs will not fall through
the cracks. We may ask for the wrong things, but they will not. we may get
weary, they remain strong.
You may not know how to
pray today. There may be confusion in your life. You may feel paralyzed by
fear. Be encouraged: prayers are continually being made for you by the Son and
Spirit who know what you really need and what to ask for on your behalf. When we are without words, the Spirit is not.
When we are confused, the Spirit sees clearly. We must not give up. Thank you, Lord for being there for us! May God bless you.
