The Power of Lament and Groaning

In Romans 8, Paul explains that the church's vocation is to lament and bear the lament of the Spirit. As creation groans and waits for redemption, the Spirit helps believers in their prayer by interceding with groanings too deep for words. This participation in the groaning of creation is a central part of the church's role in the world.
