WHAT A GROAN!

Mike Kellogg told a story about a pastor whose friend was in a wheelchair, and about
the only thing he could do was to sip a cup of tea, and make gutteral sounds like a moaning.
Remarkably, everytime he would moan, his wife would show up by his side with a cup
of tea! He seemed to be moaning for the tea, when his words couldn't tell her that
the tea was what he wanted. She instictively understood his need.
This painted me a picture of how our prayers are interceded through the Holy Spirit
with grumblings that are taken to our Heavenly Father. When we don't know how to
pray, He will often show up and interced for us with the Father, with groanings of His
own and just the right words! The Holy Spirit instinctively understands our needs.
What a blessing that Jesus has left us this helper to be with us!
