Romans 8:26–27 (NKJV)
26Likewise 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.
27Now 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.
I The Holy Spirit, our helper
II The Holy Spirit, our intercessor
III The Father will hear our prayers
