The passage talks about Romans 8:26-28. It talks about how the Holy Spirit "helps" our weakness when we do not know how to pray. I thought it was an awesome illustration and reminder when I read it. I will probably write it in my Bible.<br /><br />"It is vital to know that the Holy Spirit is always our Helper and we are always weak and ignorant in prayer. The Greek word translated "helps" in verse 26 paints a very encouraging picture. It is the word sunantilambanomai, a long Greek word with incredible encouragement in prayer. It could literally be rendered- "together facing on another he takes hold of"- It was used of two men picking up a log and moving it, something one man alone could not do. Anyone alone would need help, but together, facing on another, two men could take hold of the log and move it. That is what the Holy Spirit does for us in prayer."- Rick Shepherd, Praying God's Way.<br /><br />So you have the Holy Spirit helping you pray and He also helps your church family pray as we intercede for you!<br /><br />JoAnnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8131890048775339906.post-36134198576568436632009-04-15T18:10:00.000-04:002009-04-15T18:10:00.000-04:00Just wanted you to know I'm thinking about you and...Just wanted you to know I'm thinking about you and Linda every day and still praying for you.
