This verse is always great to remind us that God's Spirit is working on our behalf. Two things often happen. One, we often have hard times and do not think that God cares or that He is with us. It may even feel like He has abandoned us to whatever problem that now consumes our life. This is not true. The Spirit is working on our behalf and God has not forgotten that we are still here in our problems. It may take time, and it may not happen as we want it to, but God knows more than we do if you give yourself over to Him.
Two, we go though our life and everything is fine. We do not feel or see that God is working in our life. Doing everything ourselves becomes normal and the status quo. We know that God is supposed to be there, but it does not seem to matter a lot. Luckily, we have most of the things worked out in our lives anyway. This is also not true. We need God in our everyday life to teach us and lead us where He wants us to go. He can show us what love is and who we are to love. We often do not even know what we need to learn, but He does. and much more that we cannot learn on our own.
This verse helps me to turn to God and to know that the Spirit is working on my behalf. Yes, that's right, the Spirit of God thinks that we are important enough that He intercedes on our behalf. His interceding is in accordance with God's will which helps me to know that He is trying to point me in the right direction if I am willing to go. Thank you God for working in my (our) life.
