Romans 8:26-28

New Testament for Everyone

Prayer, sonship and the sovereignty of God

²⁶ In the same way, too, the spirit comes alongside and helps us in our weakness. We don’t know what to pray for as we ought to; but that same spirit pleads on our behalf, with groanings too deep for words. ²⁷ And the Searcher of Hearts knows what the spirit is thinking, because the spirit pleads for God’s people according to God’s will. ²⁸ We know, in fact, that God works all things together for good with those who love him, who are called according to his purpose.
