Midweek Bible Study (May 28)

17 people were present —11 adults, 3 teenagers, and 3 children. We had one visitor who is an adult. The Bible study centered around Romans 8.26-28. We analyzed the idea of being helped by the Spirit to be able to convey our prayers to God. We discussed the idea of us not knowing how to pray and what to pray. We used James 4.3, to show how selfish we are in our asking, then talked about the Lord's Prayer, where the Lord teaches us to pray asking for God´s will to be done. How does the Spirit actually interced for us? Well, maybe he is like a translator, someone who retells God what we are asking in prayer, but he does it in a way that is according to the will of God. The Spirit truyly helps us our weakness in this respect. The Spirit is present also when he helps us understand that all things work together for the good of those who love God.
