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.
Most of us will face very difficult circumstances in our lives.
. . if you deny this, then you are either a robot or you are lying to yourself.
When things get rough, sometimes we might feel that our prayers
just bounce off the ceiling, like “Are You really there God? Are You
listening?”.
Our prayers can seem empty and useless, we are unable to
verbalize what is on our hearts because we feel like our words are ineffective
and insufficient.
So what do we do?
We trust His promise and we go to God in prayer anyway.
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!
Have a blessed day!
