Life can be challenging on some days, and feel like we are running on empty.  2 Corinthians promises that the Spirit helps us, and also renews and refreshes us in the midst of all that life sends our way.

Romans 15 gives a dynamic picture to remind us that the Spirit is not just a helper somewhere out there, but a powerful advocate, support, and strength for us and all that life sends at us.

Intercession is not the most common word for us all to use, but means the idea of going between or on behalf of.  One image of the Spirit in scripture is that the Spirit prays on our behalf, intercedes to God on our behalf.
