The Spirit Intercedes - Romans 8:26-27

Romans 8:26-27 ESV 
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. 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.

We have an advocate that intercedes on our behalf. The Spirit that causes our spirits to rise to life is the same one that speaks for us in that life. Our words cannot contain the communion of spirit to Spirit, but we are assured that we in the body of Christ are one with Him and we have His mind. His words are ours just as we share His life. We can do nothing on our own, but all things through Him according to the will of God.
