Rom 8:27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
The Holy
Spirit becomes to the consecrated heart the Spirit of intercession.
We
have two Advocates. We have an Advocate with the Father, who prays for
us at God's right hand; but the Holy Spirit is the Advocate within, who
prays in us, inspiring our petitions and presenting them, through
Christ, to God.
We need this Advocate. We know not
what to pray for, and we know not how to pray as we ought, but He
breathes in the holy heart the desires that we may not always
understand, the groanings which we could not utter.
But
God understands, and He, with a loving Father's heart, is always
searching our hearts to find the Spirit's prayer, and to answer it.
He
finds many a prayer there that we have not discovered, and answers many a
cry that we never understood.
And when we reach our home and read the
records of life, we shall better know and appreciate the infinite love
of that Divine Friend, who has watched within as the Spirit of prayer,
and breathed out our every need to the heart of God.
