       At times we may ask God something amiss or outside of his will, but this is where the Spirit of God steps in and helps us with our prayer by interceding for us to God. James talked about this. The great thing about the Spirit praying for us is that Paul relays here that he always intercedes for us according to the will of God. He knows what the will of God is when sometimes we don’t. This means that all our bases are covered with the help of the Holy Spirit. We pray, and even if we pray something amiss, the Holy Spirit will pray in the area or areas where we lacked in our prayer. This is so encouraging for us. God is so gracious to us in this way. I think this why a lot of times good things will happen that we didn’t even pray for. They never crossed our mind. We never thought, “Oh, God could do this.” And yet something good happens that we can clearly see was from God and nobody had prayed for it. At least, we hadn’t. But the Spirit had. This is how he helps us.
