Intercession according to the Will of God
INTERCESSION ACCORIDING TO THE WILL OF GOD 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. And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. —Romans 8:26-28. The English Standard Version. Of course, the following section (Rom 8:28-39) is one of the most comforting passages in the Bible. Read on.
