Interceeding

Watching a young mother corralling an energetic toddler at service this morning brought Romans 8:26 to mind: "In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; ... the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words". Who can concentrate on worship when "Mommy, mommy!"? but we have an intercessor.

For this very reason I have always approved of the RC approach to sacraments. Sometimes the best you can manage is to just show up, and God does not send you away empty-handed just because you have active children, or can barely concentrate because of pain or depression, or are currently in worship in a place where the preaching and music are both boring.
