"...the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God." [Romans 8:26,27]
You find yourself in a situation, suffering, whatever may have been the cause you plea for help but cannot find the words, you cannot find the thoughts and your concentration is sporadic. You fall on your knees but do not know what to say and you think that God will not listen to you. Well, know this, the God who spoke and brought all things into creation came down to His creation to do for them what they could not do for themselves.
In our weakness, God is glorified, when we do not know what words to say and in our suffering all we can do is groan and cry, God Himself, as Scripture says, intercedes for us, we are not left to our own resources, the Holy Spirit is there, in the believer, helping continuously because we are not just weak from time to time, our state is one of weakness always. Our weakness may include physical, emotional, and spiritual disability. His help is like someone who helps another carrying a heavey load.
