Romans 8:26-39   "... and in the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness.."  

The Spirit of God dwells in us and we live as He gives life to our mortal bodies.
By Him we are able to put to death the "deeds of the body".  
By Him we are able to cry out to our Father in heaven, Abba!
By Him we are able to walk in righteousness.

And in the same way.. the Spirit continually "intercedes" for us.. coming along side us in our weaknesses.  Even in our failure to know how to pray.
The Spirit of God "intercedes for the saints according to the will of God." v27

God's purpose for us for each of us who love Him ..  is "to become conformed to the image of His Son.. " 
To do that.. He "causes all things to work together" for that "good"- for that purpose which is His will for us:
He foreknew us.
He predestined us.
He called us.
He justified us.
He glorified us.

He has done it all.. He is for us, so "who is against us?"
He didn't spare His own Son, so won't He complete everything that He has promised?
Would the One who died for us, now condemn us?  No, He also intercedes for us!
Can anything separate us from His love? No, never!

There is nothing that can happen to us.. " tribulation.. distress.. persecution.. famine.. nakedness.. peril.. sword."  Not even " death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created things, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." 

Abba! Father, You have done this for us that we might be forever with You, complete in Christ Jesus, our Savior. Thank You!  We bow before You and give You praise.. we exalt Your Name! Oh Mighty God, that You want us and have done all of this.. thank You!  How my heart bursts with love for You.. keep me in this joy of Your Presence! Fill us all with Your Grace and Peace, through Jesus Christ the Lord. Amen.
