Romans 8:26-27

²⁶In the same way, the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we don’t know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which can’t be uttered.

²⁷He who searches the hearts knows what is on the Spirit’s mind, because he makes intercession for the saints according to God.
