Beginning this Ash Wednesday let’s talk about praying with the Spirit and the Son.
More is happening when we pray than we know or even can imagine. Our prayers are mixed with the prayers of Heaven. The Son intercedes for us at Abba’s right hand. The intercession of the Spirit works in us to help us pray and then this Holy Dove carries our petition faster than light to the Throne. The Spirit gives meaning and shape to that which is too painful, too deep, too profound, too high for words. Demonic forces are thwarted! Grace comes down! Strength arrives!
“In my distress I called upon the LORD, Yes, I cried to my God; And from His temple He heard my voice, And my cry for help came into His ears.” (2 Samuel 22:7 NASB).
