When Words Cannot Express

"In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express.  And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will."  Romans 8:26-27

There are times in our lives when we just cannot figure out a way to say how we feel.  How wonderful that we can trust that God still hears our prayers!

But we cannot leave it as, "God knows how I feel, so I don't have to pray."  It's His desire for us to still turn to Him, even when we don't know what to say.

Remember my post a few days ago, with the song "When I Don't Know What to Say?"  Don't shut God out of the burdens that feel too hard to talk about.  When you don't know what to say, just speak His praise.  Or tell Him that you don't know what to say.  His promise in Romans is that His Spirit will understand, and voice our prayers for us. 

These two verses precede one of the most well-known:  "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."  Even when we don't know which way to turn, how to pray, where to go, we can trust that God is working things out for us.

I hope you have a really great and bountiful day.  Keep blazing!
