The Spirit [of God] makes intercession with groaning that cannot be spoken. 27 and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. 28 We know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose.
