How does the holy spirit pray for us?

I don't think the bible ever says that the Spirit prays for us. It says He makes intercession for us with goranings that canot be uttered.
"Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for a we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with grownings which cannot be uttered."
Intercession is ?????? Standing in our place in prayer!
So you are now agreeing with us, and the Bible, that there is no personal prayer tongue kanguagegiven to us by the HS?
In our inner man, as he forms what we are to say and ask for God, but we ask/speak to god per His direction/guiding in our natural tongue!
None of us here have the 'revelation" about this, as he in the OP assumes that we are "unbelievers!"
NO!!! I am just saying that I do not see Rom. 8 speaking of tongues!
You added that! It does not say that in Romans 8. It says the Spirit prayers Itself/himself! Not us in any form or fashion other than groaning!
Which one is the HS, it or he?
I put both because someone questioned the KJV...The KJV says itself..another one says himself!
I believe the Holy Spirit is a person!
Either way it still says the same thing! The Spirit intercedes what we can not utter!
In our inner man, NOT as a tongue to God!
How many times do I have to tell you...I did not say it was tongues to God! But the scriptures does not say anything about the inner man praying!
It says the Holy Spirit intercedes itself/himself!
Well then Who is He praying too since He is God? Does the Trinity pray to one another when they are together? I would also point out it does not say Himself, but itself.
Bad translation of that passage, for the bible quite clear the Holy Spirit is a person, and is a HE!
