FREE ARE YOU TODAY!

The Spirit himself intercedes for us. . .
[Jesus Christ] is also interceding for us
Roman 8:22-34

When we face a perplexing situation or tough problem, we often ask our brothers and sister in Christ to pray for us. It's a great encouragement to know that others who care are holding us up to God in prayer. But what if you don't have close Christ friends? Perhaps you live where the gospel of Christ is opposed. Who will pray for you?
   Roman 8, one of the great triumphant chapter of the Bible, declares, "We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the spirit himself intercedes for us throught wordless groans. . . The spirit intercedes for God's people in accordance with the will of God" (Roman 8:26-27). The Holy Spirit is praying for us today.
   In addition, "Jesus Christ who died more than that, who was raised to life is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us" (v34). The living Lord Jesus Christ is praying for you today.
   Think of it! The Holy Spirit and the Lord Jesus Christ mention your name and your needs to God the Father, who hears and acts on your behalf.
  No matter where you are or how confusing your situation, you do not face life alone. The Spirit and the Son are praying for you today.
