And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words. – Romans 8:26(NLT)
HOLY SPIRIT, THE HELPER
A poem and essay by ILMA
Whenever we are in trouble, we are not alone
Just remember to go and run to the throne
The Holy Spirit was given to us by Christ
He teaches and guides us in everything in this life.
Whenever we have difficulties and challenges
He is there to tell us how to face changes
He prays for us even when we can’t express it in words
He teaches us how to overcome sin and this world.

Have you ever paused while you are praying and didn’t know what to say? The bible tells us in Ephesians 6 to pray in the spirit at all times and on every occasion. What does praying in the Spirit means? It is opening your heart to the Lord and honestly telling him what is going on inside you. It is showing how weak you are and acknowledging that you need his help on everything, no matter how big or little it is.
Paul tells the Romans that the Holy Spirit is our helper. He is there in times of weakness and when we don’t know what to pray for. He can express our hearts through groanings.
PRAYER
Lord, lead me to pray in the Spirit always.
