Sometimes we hit a period in life where we feel distant from God. We call out for relief, but do not get a response. Why? Is it because God does not hear or see what I am going through? Or, could it be an issue with me and my relationship to and with God?

The Spirit Interceding for you and I…Often We are going to look at several passages today that illustrate how often and in what ways the Holy Spirit is reaching out begging to have a relationship with us... That seems odd. A member of the Trinity is asking us to have a relationship with Him. The Holy…

The hope of our salvation sustains us as we await our final redemption. As we wait the Spirit intercedes on our behalf.
