The Holy Spirit Is Our Intercessor This is one of the greatest miracles of grace. The apostle Paul told us that the Holy Spirit who lives inside us “intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words” (Rom. 8:26). Even when we don’t know how to pray, the Spirit prays the perfect will of God. No matter what kind of dark difficulty we face, the Spirit travails for us until we emerge safely through the test. -J.
