The Spirit Of God Helps Us In Our Weakness
Our Trials Come With Purpose
ROMANS 8:26-27
“Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.”
Romans 8:26-27 NKJV

We all face problems, but we believers are not left to our own devices to cope.
Even when we don’t know the right words to pray, the Holy Spirit prays with you and for you with groanings (tongues), His own special language is available to most Spirit filled believers (ACT 2:4; 4:31).
He knows your needs far more than you; while we see a small part of the picture in the situation we face, God sees the whole picture and brings the prayer you need; He takes what is evil and uses it for your good ( see GENESIS 50:20 and ROMANS 8:28).
I tell you the truth: since He intercedes on your behalf, no weapon formed against can prosper (ISAIAH 54:17), for you already have the victory through Christ Jesus who is your strength (1 CORINTHIANS 15:57).
Though, not everything is going to pan out quite as you hoped, and at times life will be quite uncomfortable, it is encouraging to know, whatever your troubles and struggles, God knows about them and remains in control.
He hears your prayers before you say them, “And the Lord, He is the One who goes before you to make a way, and is with you through it all. He will not leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:8).
But it is important to understand that the trials and challenges we face are important, they come with purpose.
They teach us, bring change into the way we think and respond to the challenges we face, and build our faith.
They give us endurance to continue our walk in Christ righteousness.
Together through God’s Word, we become transformed by the renewing of the mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God (ROMANS 12:1-2).
James said, “My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.”
James 1:2-4 NKJV
My beloved, the Father who knows all hearts, He knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God’s own will. And we know that all things work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose for them (ROMANS 8:28.)
Furthermore, when temptation comes, He helps us in our weakness; He gives us a righteous way out.
“Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall. No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.”
I Corinthians 10:12-13 NKJV
Finally my beloved, Paul gave us good advice In all aspects of daily life.
He said, “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your request be known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus (PHILIPPIANS 4:6-7).”
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.
