The Holy Spirit of God dwelling in us, knowing our wants better than we, Himself pleads in our prayers, raising us to higher and holier desires than we can express in words, which can only find utterance in sighings and aspirations.

— Henry Alford The New Testament for English Readers (1865)

My bark is wafted to the strand
By breath Divine;
And on the helm there rests a hand
Other than mine.
