After reading from Sylvia Gunter today, I thought I would share something from my reading...
“The Holy Spirit is our gracious Helper in prayer. We need His assistance in all our prayers. We are to look to Him for our motivation, to empower us to believe God, and to guide our prayers. Sometimes we must submit to our weakness and in humility let Him pray our hearts to God.” – Thrasher
What are your thoughts?
Hey Dave,
ReplyDeleteInteresting that you wrote this. This morning, I was reading Romans 8:26 which talks about how the Spirit helps us in our weakness when we don't know what to pray. So I looked up "helps" and the verb is a Greek word that is a composite of three different words:
suv - with
anti - against
lambano - to take hold of
So the liternal idea is to together with others take of hold of something that is being opposed. For instance, if Sstan is attacking me, the Spirit comes alongside of me together against my oppressor. I just like that...thank You Spirit for Your consolation and strong ministry in and through us!
Love,
Andre
