[26] In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.

Help for the Weak
Admitting weakness isn't the trendiest thing to do in today's culture. But if you've found yourself feeling weary, overwhelmed, or unsure of yourself, there's good news:
“In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.”
Romans 8:26 NIV
For those of us in Christ, we’re not in this alone. God’s Spirit is working in us and through us to accomplish His purposes—even when we don’t see it or feel it. He’s bringing things to mind, putting people in our path, and stirring up our hearts with that which matters to Him.
So the pressure to do it all, have it all, and be it all is off! You don’t have to rely on yourself. You don’t have to have it all together. You don’t have to be the one to keep the world from falling apart—that’s God’s job.
You don’t have to be confident in yourself to be confident in your God.
God’s Spirit helps you to pray. God’s Spirit strengthens your heart. God’s Spirit intercedes for you when you’re lacking the words.
God’s Word says that His power is made perfect in weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9), and it’s actually in our weakness that He is strong (2 Corinthians 12:10).
You have a Helper who meets you in your vulnerability, offers you His strength, and refuses to leave you stranded or scrambling on your own. You can trust Him to help you, to guide you, and to offer you His strength when you are weak.
Father, thank you for the Spiritual intercessions and knowing me beyond all I can think or imagine. I can shed tears knowing within that though I weep, you hold my heart and chin up....I know where my help comes from.
Amen
Blessings & Light
