This verse and the next five verses following, express the increased intensiveness and anguish that is being experienced, resulting in phenomenal loneliness.
The words for desire and groaning, are used to describe the intense sorrow and anguish that is being felt.
God is not blind, nor is He callous or cold, toward the difficulties of the individual.
Each individual has only two ways to look in life.

The sin nature stands in the way, but your volition and ability to make decisions can overcome its power, when reinforced with Bible doctrine in the soul.
