Romans 8:22,23,26
. . . The whole creation has been groaning . . . We ourselves . . . groan inwardly . . . In the same way, the Spirit . . . Himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express.
We see in verses 19 through 27 a whole picture of all creation groaning under the curse placed on it by Adam's sin, waiting for the curse to be lifted when we are glorified. And we groan inwardly as we wait for that event to happen. And the Holy Spirit, in the meanwhile, also groans in His intercession for us, because we don't even know what to pray for, but He searches our hearts and knows God's will and prays for us. We all groan now, waiting.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
