The Holy Spirit intercedes for us

The Spirit helps us in our weakness, for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but that same Spirit intercedes for us with sighs too deep for words.
--Romans 8: 12-27

I've loved this promise from the Bible for as long as I can remember. How awesome that even if we don't know what to pray for, the Holy Spirit can pray for us on our behalf. Gotta love the Holy Spirit.

I'm not familiar with this translation, but I haven't been able to find the quote for so long that I'm just thrilled to have a reference. Now I can read different translations until I find the one I really want. But in the end, the translation doesn't matter. It's all about the promise. :-)
