The Spirit also helpeth our infirmities

Daily Light Devotions - May 22 - Evening

The Spirit also helpeth our infirmities.

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. 1

But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. 2

Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, 3

for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure. 4

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. 5

For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust. 6

a bruised reed he will not break, and a faintly burning wick he will not quench; he will faithfully bring forth justice. 7

Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak." 8

A Psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. 9
