I  A praying hearing God

John 16:26–27 (NKJV)

II  The mediatorship of Christ

III  The prompting of the Holy Spirit

Romans 8:26–27 (NKJV)

26 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. 27 Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
