But that doesn't work. The "groanings" cannot be uttered. Also, it is the Spirit praying, not us. Not the Spirit through us. For us.
Another question (which I know how OPs answer) is whether tongues are for today, or have they ceased ( 1 Corinthians 13:8). |
I don't think Romans is talking about tongues. According to Strongs, which has been pointed out already, it leans more towards actual groans. The example I gave was when my bro-in-law went thru a horrible divorce. We were at the alter together and experienced these groanings.
I sincerely believe there are times we just don't know what to say or how to pray. I remember my Grandfather at times would just groan under his breath.
