"Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered." Romans 8:26So often I find myself without words. Perhaps its my lack of higher education or just my introverted personality, but more often than not....I just don't have the words to express my inner groanings. While visiting family in another state recently, I was trying to verbalize how I was feeling about the part of the country I'm currently living in. I guess I must have been babbling, because when I looked at my audience of 3 at the end of my babblings, their faces had traces of confusion and bewilderment.
According to Paul, the Spirit is the translator of my prayers. God knows and understands the desires of my heart without me trying to put them into logical sentences. My tumble, jumble thoughts He comprehends and they make perfect sense to Him.
I wish I could write like Karie or Amy or Sara. Perhaps this is something I need to work harder at. But I really wish for the words to form on my tongue...not just groanings rumbling in my heart.
God understands my weaknesses. I pray for His strength to carry me through.
Today I am purchasing a small notebook to carry with me.
I have been reading aholyexperience on a regular basis and have the desire to begin a gratitude journal.
Today is another gift from God, another day to live for Him. Another day of grace and gratitude.
