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 8:26 NKJV)

ROMANS 8 IN ITS ENTIRETY.

Thought For The Week: The Holy Spirit steps in to pray for us with wordless groans when our human weakness and sorrow leave us without words.

Sometimes life will have our hearts broken to the degree that there aren’t even the words to repair the pieces of life. We will have a trial of sufficient severity that we are unable to process that which is happening around us and feel that our legs will buckle at any second under the weight of everything that is going on and do not have to force a suitable expression in these kinds of agonizing moments. The promise in Romans 8:26 comes into play here.

We are not on our own, even when we are incapable of articulate utterance: we allow the wordless prayer in the sorrowful depths of our hearts be whispered before the ears of God from the mouths of the Holy Spirit.

Prayer: Holy Spirit, thank You for this help. Thank You for coming when my words cannot form to help me with this heavy, quiet weight in my heart right now and to help me take it to the Father. Turn my infirmities, my sighs, and my unexpressed groans to the Father on my behalf. Let me be comforted by Your peace that knows You’re speaking on behalf of my weakness. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
