Romans 8:26-27 ” 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.”

When that deep moan of pain, grief, or anguish escapes from our mouth because our world has been turned upside down, it’s better to have 1000 unspoken words of prayer in our hearts, than to have a long lengthy prayer with no heart involved. We constantly are made aware of our weaknesses in the area of prayer…especially in how to pray for ourselves in the face of things like a devastating & grave diagnosis, a fatal car accident of a family member, or the suicide of a close friend. We find ourselves at a loss with no words to pray. But this longing to somehow express that chaos & helplessness is really an indication that the Holy Spirit is already at work interceding in our hearts…making requests before our Heavenly Father that will most definitely be heard. And we can rest in that, assured that God’s Will be done in our life & the lives of others.
