CQOD: 02/21/08 -- Sanday & Headlam: the Spirit groaning within us

Christian Quotation of the Day

February 21, 2008Meditation:
    In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express.
    -- Romans 8:26 (NIV)

---

Quotation:
    As we groan, so also does the Holy Spirit groan with us, putting a meaning into our aspirations which they would not have of themselves.
    ... William Sanday (1843-1920) & Arthur C. Headlam (1862-1947), A Critical and Exegetical Commentary on the Epistle to the Romans [1896]

---

Quiet time reflection:
    Spirit of God, grant holiness to my prayer.
