The Spirit Himself Makes Intercession

Romans 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

This groaning is one of the ways a person prays in the Spirit.

In Jude 15:20 we are told to pray in the Spirit. Scripturally speaking this would also refer to praying in tongues. As mentioned in Acts.2, 1 Cor.12-14

That faith is the same as when we groan in the Spirit because we don't know what to pray.So in vs.22 all of creation is groaning, vs.23 we as Christains's are groaning and here the Spirit groans within us.

Groan's = to sigh, murmur, pray inaudibly:--with grief,
