I have been to many countries and always have difficulty communicating with the local residents. This issue doesn’t surprise me because we speak different languages, plus I am not the best communicator even in my mother tongue of English. Therefore, I try to get by with pointing and hand gestures. However, I can not communicate or understand nuances and deeper thoughts without a reliable translator.
Romans 8:26-27 says, “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.” We unable to think and understand spiritual thoughts on our own. Therefore, God gives His Holy Spirit to guide His children in our thoughts and prayers and to intercede for us before the Father.
