VERSE:
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

THOUGHT:
Most of us will face very difficult circumstances in our lives.
When we do, we will likely feel that our prayers just bounce off
the ceiling. Our words will seem empty and useless. We can't seem
to verbalize what is on our hearts. We feel like our words are
ineffective and insufficient. So what do we do? We trust this
promise. We go to God in prayer! Even when we don't have words to
say, we offer our hearts to him, trusting that the Holy Spirit
takes those thoughts, emotions, and inarticulate frustrations to
God. The Spirit makes our hearts known to God, interceding for us
according to God's will. Even when we don't have words, the Spirit
makes our needs known. What a tremendous reassuring grace!
PRAYER:
Abba Father, it is so comforting to know that my words,
thoughts, and emotions are all presented to you through your Holy
Spirit. Father, I feel inadequate to approach you and I know
without the intercession of your Son and the Holy Spirit that I
would not be worthy to do so. Thank you for giving me the assurance
that you will always hear me even when I can't find the words to
say. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
