“A TRUE groan to God ― however deep the misery, however prostrate the spirit, however unconscious that we are heard ― is always received above as the intercession of the Spirit; and answered according to the perfectness of God’s purpose concerning us in CHRIST. This is a blessed thought.”
“There is no consequence of sin which is beyond the reach of this groaning to God; nothing, indeed, but the self-will which will not groan to Him at all.”
“Such is our intercourse with God, in joy and in sorrow. And what will shine most when all things shine before God, are these groans to Him.” J. N. D.
