 What do we read in Romans 8:26 about the Holy Spirit and
                    prayer?




                 Make sure again that you know what “intercede” means?





                 Why,  according  to  Romans  8:26-27,  is  it  necessary  for  the
                    Holy Spirit to intercede for us?




                 Let us look at the list of reasons given:
                          o  We are weak – so He helps us in our weakness;
                          o  Why are we weak? For we do not know how to
                              pray as we should;
                          o  We do not always know what the will of God is.

                  One of the meanings for the word “intercede” is “to come
                     in  line  with.”  How  would  you  apply  this  meaning  to  the
                     interceding work of the Holy Spirit on our behalf?




                 How does the Holy Spirit help us in our ignorance of God’s
                    revealed will? Read John 14:25-26, John 15:26, and John 16:13.
