Helps our Infirmities
Rom 8:26
Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

Jesus said, when I go I will send the comforter to you .... He will be your helper.
The Holy Spirit will help ...sunantilambanomai..gk, meaning ...to take hold of opposite together, ...to cooperate, ...assist, ...help,
Our infirmities ...astheneia..gk, meaning ...feebleness (of mind or body), ...malady, ...morally, ...frailty, ...disease, ...infirmity, ...sickness, ...weakness.
In other words the Spirit will assist us in what we are already doing and we need help to perfect it. We therefore need to build ourself in the Holy Ghost as admonished by brother Jude
But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, Jude 1:20
For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Heb 4:15
Therefore,
He is there to prop us up and cooperate with us carry out the duties. In the fire or water or through the valley of the shadow of death. The same Jesus through the Holy Spirit, ...
Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity. Heb 5:2
In our feebleness or when sickness attacks our body what steps you take to address the situation is what the Spirit will help you in accordance with the will of God.
If it is not in the will of God, the Holy Spirit will not cooperate with you but will leave you to your own power because you want to consume or use what you are asking for upon your lust thereof.
Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. Jas 4:3
He is there to direct you in the will of God not according to our own will. For Him to fully assist you, then you have to commit your heart and all your things to Him who is smarter, cleverer and powerful than you.
Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. Jude 1:21
He helps our Infirmities. In other words Jesus is telling us we should prepare for the infirmities that will challenge your faith in your walk with the Lord.
Whether infirmities of the mind or in the body, not knowing what to say or do, He has assured us of His help therefore find out what the will of God is saying in His Word.
For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you. Mt 10:20
These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. Jn 16:33
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. Mt 28:20
Therefore commit your way in keeping with the Word of promise ...I am with you alway... says the Lord.
He is available to help our infirmities. Hallelujah!
God bless you.
