In the same way, the Holy Spirit helps us when we are weak. We don’t know what we should pray for. But the Spirit himself prays for us. He prays through groans too deep for words.

况且，我们的软弱有圣灵帮助；我们本不晓得当怎样祷告，只是圣灵亲自用说不出来的叹息替我们祷告。

同样，我们的软弱有圣灵帮助。我们本不知道当怎样祷告，但是圣灵亲自用无可言喻的叹息替我们祈求。

且我儕懦弱、聖神助我、蓋我儕不知所當禱者、聖神以不可言之歎息代我禱也、

即聖神因鑒於吾人之闇弱、而昧於祈禱之道、亦多方相助、以不可思議之歎息、而為吾人代求焉。

In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.

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 the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words.

In the same way the Spirit also helps us in our weakness, because we do not know what to pray for as we should, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with inexpressible groanings.

Now in the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know what to pray for as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words;

Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

And in like manner the Spirit also helpeth our infirmity: for we know not how to pray as we ought; but the Spirit himself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered;

In the same way the Spirit also joins to help in our weakness, because we do not know what to pray for as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with unspoken groanings.

Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness, for we do not know how we should pray, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with inexpressible groanings.

In the same way, the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we don’t know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which can’t be uttered.

It will not be you speaking. The Spirit of your Father will be speaking through you.

At all times, pray by the power of the Spirit. Pray all kinds of prayers. Be watchful, so that you can pray. Always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.

Because you are his children, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts. He is the Holy Spirit. By his power we call God Abba. Abba means Father.

But you, dear friends, build yourselves up in your most holy faith. Let the Holy Spirit guide and help you when you pray.And by doing these things, remain in God’s love as you wait. You are waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you eternal life.

I will ask the Father. And he will give you another friend to help you and to be with you forever.

Through Christ we both come to the Father by the power of one Holy Spirit.

The Spirit you received doesn’t make you slaves. Otherwise you would live in fear again. Instead, the Holy Spirit you received made you God’s adopted child. By the Spirit’s power we call God Abba. Abba means Father.

The Lord has heard my cry for his mercy. The Lord accepts my prayer.

When you do ask for something, you don’t receive it. That’s because you ask for the wrong reason. You want to spend your money on your sinful pleasures.

Because he was very sad and troubled, he prayed even harder. His sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.

We who have strong faith should help the weak with their problems. We should not please only ourselves.

“ I will pour out a spirit of grace and prayer on David’s family line. I will also send it on those who live in Jerusalem. They will look to me. I am the one they have pierced. They will mourn over me as someone mourns over an only child who has died. They will be full of sorrow over me. Their sorrow will be just like someone’s sorrow over an oldest son.

“ You don’t know what you’re asking for,” Jesus said to them.“ Can you drink the cup of suffering I am going to drink?”“ We can,” they answered.

We have a high priest who can feel it when we are weak and hurting. We have a high priest who has been tempted in every way, just as we are. But he did not sin.

While we live in this tent of ours, we groan under our heavy load. We don’t want to be naked. Instead, we want to be fully dressed with our house in heaven. What must die will be swallowed up by life.

God, listen to my prayer. Pay attention to my cry for help.Hear me and answer me. My thoughts upset me. I’m very troubled.

I will brag about a man like that. But I won’t brag about myself. I will brag only about how weak I am.Suppose I decide to brag. That would not make me a fool, because I would be telling the truth. But I don’t brag, so that no one will think more of me than they should. People should judge me by what I do and say.God has shown me amazing and wonderful things. People should not think more of me because of it. So I wouldn’t become proud of myself, I was given a problem. This problem caused pain in my body. It is a messenger from Satan to make me suffer.Three times I begged the Lord to take it away from me.But he said to me,“ My grace is all you need. My power is strongest when you are weak.” So I am very happy to brag about how weak I am. Then Christ’s power can rest on me.Because of how I suffered for Christ, I’m glad that I am weak. I am glad in hard times. I am glad when people say mean things about me. I am glad when things are difficult. And I am glad when people make me suffer. When I am weak, I am strong.

I cried out to God for help. I cried out to God to hear me.When I was in trouble, I looked to the Lord for help. During the night I lifted up my hands in prayer. But I refused to be comforted.God, I remembered you, and I groaned. I thought about you, and I became weak.

So I grow weak. Deep down inside me, I’m afraid.I remember what happened long ago. I spend time thinking about all your acts. I consider what your hands have done.I spread out my hands to you in prayer. I’m thirsty for you, just as dry ground is thirsty for rain.Lord, answer me quickly. I’m growing weak. Don’t turn your face away from me, or I will be like those who go down into the grave.

A deer longs for streams of water. God, I long for you in the same way.I am thirsty for God. I am thirsty for the living God. When can I go and meet with him?My tears have been my food day and night. All day long people say to me,“ Where is your God?”When I remember what has happened, I tell God all my troubles. I remember how I used to walk to the house of God. The Mighty One guarded my steps. We shouted with joy and praised God as we went along with the joyful crowd.My spirit, why are you so sad? Why are you so upset deep down inside me? Put your hope in God. Once again I will have reason to praise him. He is my Savior and my God.

Lord, you hear the desires of those who are hurting. You cheer them up and give them hope. You listen to their cries.

Lord, you are the God who saves me. Day and night I cry out to you.Please hear my prayer. Pay attention to my cry for help.I have so many troubles I’m about to die.

I deeply long for you to save me. I have put my hope in your word.My eyes grow tired looking for what you have promised. I say,“ When will you comfort me?”

He heard the groans of the prisoners. He set free those who were sentenced to death.”

One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples spoke to him.“ Lord,” he said,“ teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.”Jesus said to them,“ When you pray, this is what you should say.“‘ Father, may your name be honored. May your kingdom come.Give us each day our daily bread.Forgive us our sins, as we also forgive everyone who sins against us. Keep us from falling into sin when we are tempted.’ ”Then Jesus said to them,“ Suppose you have a friend. You go to him at midnight and say,‘ Friend, lend me three loaves of bread.A friend of mine on a journey has come to stay with me. I have no food to give him.’And suppose the one inside answers,‘ Don’t bother me. The door is already locked. My children and I are in bed. I can’t get up and give you anything.’I tell you, that person will not get up. And he won’t give you bread just because he is your friend. But because you keep bothering him, he will surely get up. He will give you as much as you need.“ So here is what I say to you. Ask, and it will be given to you. Search, and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened to you.Everyone who asks will receive. The one who searches will find. And the door will be opened to the one who knocks.“ Fathers, suppose your son asks for a fish. Which of you will give him a snake instead?Or suppose he asks for an egg. Which of you will give him a scorpion?Even though you are evil, you know how to give good gifts to your children. How much more will your Father who is in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”

Some people have gone astray without knowing it. He is able to deal gently with them. He can do that because he himself is weak.

I groan out loud because of my suffering. I’m nothing but skin and bones.

I’m worn out from calling for help. My throat is very dry. My eyes grow tired looking for my God.

What a terrible failure I am! Who will save me from this sin that brings death to my body?

My soul is very troubled. Lord, how long will it be until you save me?

During our time on earth we groan. We long to put on our house in heaven as if it were clothing.
