I don’t know about you but there is something special about knowing that someone is praying for you.  It provides a level of comfort and peace to know that someone cares enough to pray and also that they are speaking to God on your behalf.  Praying for someone is one of the best ways that you can care for them.   In Romans 8 we learn that the Holy Spirit is actually praying to God on our behalf and in addition that God is at work in each and every situation in our life working for our own good.  Let’s look at those words together today.  

26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. 27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God. 28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. 29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. 30 And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.

God is praying for you!  Think about that for a moment.  The Holy Spirit, part of the triune God, is praying to the Father on your behalf.  That is how much you are loved and cared for by God.  God is at work in your life right now.  Whatever you have going on, whatever you may be facing, God is at work and is working for your ultimate good.  Rest in that truth today.  It is a great feeling when a good friend lifts you up in prayer.  How much more knowing that the Holy Spirit is always searching your mind and heart and lifting you up as well.  

In His Grip,
