The Spirit at Work in Our Lives (Romans 8:26-28)

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you were either asked or felt lead to pray for someone else and you couldn’t think of the right words to say?

Or maybe you felt lead to pray for something that’s been troubling you in your life and have been at a loss for words.

One of the topics that we’ll be jumping into this weekend will bring us to the realization that we have the Holy Spirit actively involved in empathizing and even praying with us!  

My hope is that this knowledge that we have in God will bring us encouragement in our everyday lives.  However, I also want to preface this… our passage this week can be tremendously encouraging as we look into one of the more popular verses of the Bible (Romans 8:28).  But, one of the challenges that we’ll find is that trusting in God to work things together for good requires us to know a couple of things:  (1) who God is and (2) what makes us apt to trust Him when things don’t seem to be working out for “good”?   

I am looking forward to getting into this passage with you all this Sunday!  

See you soon!

26 Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. 27 And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. 28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.
