26 Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. 27 And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. 28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.
We've talked before about how important it is to include the Holy Spirit in our times of Refreshing - to tune in our listening ear so He can reveal to us things we have missed and show us new things we need to know to continue on our journey. He not only helps us listen; He helps us talk - not only telling others about Christ, but in talking with God. But there is something else here too: the Holy Spirit reminds us over and over again that God is Good, and has our good in mind; He is to be trusted. Times of refreshing, during which we open ourselves anew to the Holy Spirit, working with God's Word, deepening our trust in God, and that is what we really need as we prepare to continue on in the journey.
