We need to return to the Lord. If we return to Him He will return to us. (Zec. 1:3) This is where exactly we should start. We were those who are weak. We were once like those myrtle trees in the bottoms. (Zec.1:11) But thank the Lord that He is not only among us, but as the Angel of Jehovah He went to a process to be "the life-giving Spirit." (1 Cor. 15:45b) so that He can dwell in us (Rom. 8:11). When we suffer He suffers. When we feel pain, the Lord feels the pain. When we groan the Lord groans with us. He is not only with us but in us. In Romans 8:26, we are so weak that we don't even know how to pray. But "the Spirit also joins in to help us in our weakness." Also, "He intercedes for us with groanings which cannot be uttered." Perhaps the only thing we can do is to call upon the name of the Lord, even with sighing. But we praise the Lord that as we call on Him, the interceding Spirit helps us, sympathizes with us, sustains us, comforts us, and supports us by interceding for us for the building of His house. These are the few verses that touched me the most among the messages released from the Tour of a Life-Time Part 27 in the Book of Zechariah. They just turned out as a lovely song sung by the Young People of the Church in Roxas, Palawan.

Moreover, in like manner the Spirit also 
Joins in to help us in our weakness
To help us in our weakness.
For we do not know 
For what we should pray as is fitting, 
But the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings 
Which cannot be uttered.
Which cannot be uttered.

Cry out again, saying, Thus says Jehovah
I return to Jerusalem with compassions; 
My house will be built in it, 
Declares Jehovah of hosts, 
And a measuring line will be 
Stretched over Jerusalem.

Moreover in like manner (raw)

1
O Love, that wilt not let me go,
I rest my weary soul in Thee;
I give Thee back the life I owe,
That in Thine ocean depths its flow
May richer, fuller be.

2
O Light, that followest all my way,
I yield my flickering torch to Thee;
My heart restores its borrowed ray,
That in Thy sunshine's blaze its day
May brighter, fairer be.

3
O Joy, that seekest me through pain,
I cannot close my heart to Thee;
I trace the rainbow through the rain,
And feel the promise is not vain
That morn shall tearless be.

4
O Cross, that liftest up my head,
I dare not ask to fly from Thee;
I lay in dust life's glory dead,
And from the ground there blossoms red
Life that shall endless be.

But I say, Walk by the Spirit
        C			F   G
And you shall by no means
        C	           F	Am	G
And you shall by no means fulfill
        C	       F	 Am     G	
The lust of the flesh.

  F		G	 C  Am
For the flesh lusts against the Spirit
     F	   G	       Am  C
and the Spirit against the flesh
	    F		   G
For these oppose each other
          C	        Am
That you would not do
        F		  G	 C
The things that you desire.

    C		    F  G
If we live by the Spirit
C	        F    G
Let us also walk
   C		   F  G
If we live by the Spirit
C	         F	        G	       C
Let us also walk by the Spirit.
