comes to our help and

bears up in our weakness,

for we do not know what

prayer to offer nor how to

offer it worthily as we ought,

but the Spirit Himself goes to

meet our supplication and pleads

in our behalf with yearnings

beyond words too deep to express.

And He Who searches the hearts of

men knows what is in the mind of the

Holy Spirit , because the Spirit interceeds

and pleads in behalf of the saints

according to and in harmony with

God’s will.

( Romans 8.26 and 27).

For we were saved in this hope,

but hope that is seen is not hope.

For how can one hope for what she

already sees.

But if we hope for what is still unseen

by us, we wait for it with patience and

composure.

So too the Holy Spirit comes to our aid

and bears us up in our weakness.

For we do not know what prayer to

offer nor how to offer it worthily as

we ought, but the Spirit Himself goes

to meet our supplication and pleads

in our behalf with unspeakable

yearnings and groanings too deep

for utterance.

( Romans 8.24-26).

INSPIRATION

Meditate on the following:

1) The hope of redemption for our bodies.

2) The meaning of hope

3) Waiting patiently

4) The Holy Spirit articulates our deepest

yearnings. These are yearnings for which

words do not yet exist in our vocabulary.

5) These yearnings without words are

communicated for us via the Holy Spirit.

PRAISE THE LORD O MY SOUL!
