Prayer....Holy Spirit part 2

3.) "Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God." Romans 8:26-27

Wow....isn't that cool? We can't see the whole picture of our lives, but God can. And because He knows the Spirit, and the Spirit knows God, (because they are one) we can be assured that when we pray in the Spirit, that we are praying for Gods will. When we ask for the Holy Spirit to come in us, and ask him, who and what we should pray for, we will be praying for God's will. He will impress us what we should pray for. And another way of looking at this verse, is, so often, we are just so overwhelmed with the things in our life, that we can't even put our prayer into words. We don't know how or what to say...we can't express ourselves. Well, this is when the Holy Spirit will pray for us. He knows the prayer of our heart, and it need not be uttered for Him to understand. And it is interesting, because the verse following these verses in the Bible, is the well known verse Romans 8:28. It is almost like proof...and we know, that those who follow God, and love him, (and allow the Holy Spirit to work in their lives) will have everything in their lives worked out for good.
