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
I have faced very difficult circumstances in my life as a Christian.When I did , sometimes I felt my prayers just bounce off the ceiling. My words will seem empty and useless. I couldn't seem to verbalize what was on my heart. I felt like my words were ineffective and insufficient.
So what did God do to me?
He showed me trust this promise.
Go to God in prayer!
Even when I don't have words to say, I offer my heart to him, trusting that the Holy Spirit takes those thoughts, emotions, and inarticulate frustrations to God.
The Spirit makes my heart known to God, interceding for me according to HIS will. Even when I don't have words, the Spirit makes my needs known.
What a tremendous reassuring grace!
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 while on the Adventure in Middle Grove.
