I was reading yesterday the scripture verse in Romans 8:26, In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.
As I pondered on this for a bit I envisioned the Holy Spirit talking with God the Father and telling Him, "What she really means is.... She would like to be used by You; she would like to represent You in a pleasing manner; she wants You to be magnified through her; she trusts You; she knows You are Most Loving and Kind, Gracious and Merciful; she knows You are in control of all; she knows You love her children more than herself and will care for them in the most perfect way."
I'm sure my humanity, selfishness, fear of discomfort can have an influence on my desires and prayers.
Isn't is cool to think that the living Spirit of God resides within so that even though I don't voice my deepest groanings He does for me.
