When You Have No Words
For the one longing
to pour out your heart to God,
but you have no words.
The sorrow – too much.
The situation – too much.
The magnitude of the mess – too much.
The cry of your heart
too much
for human words
to articulate.
Don’t worry about the words.
Simply
bring your heart
to God
in the silence.
In moments like these,
when we are
unable to pray,
the Holy Spirit,
Himself,
prays for us.
When we can’t,
when we don’t know how,
when we don’t know what to pray –
the Spirit can,
the Spirit will,
the Spirit does.
All you need to do
is bring your heart.
He will bring the words . . .
and His words don’t return void.
~Stacy
In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness,
for we do not know how we should pray,
but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with inexpressible groanings.
And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit,
because the Spirit intercedes on behalf of the saints according to God’s will.
~Romans 8:26-27
