[26]Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

[28]And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
LESSON INTRODUCTION. Knowing the mind of God is having knowledge of his thoughts, desires and will for every human, especially His beloved children who are called believers.
What God has designed for us is not to be discovered at once but gradually, as our relationship with Him deepens, more are revealed to us. Jeremiah 29:11 says His thought towards us are good and not evil, to ensure we arrive at the destination of a fulfilling life for us.
The psalmist also mentioned that “great are the works of God and His thoughts are deep” Psalm 92:5, hence we can’t have a full grasp of them because the ways of God are past finding.
