| Today’s Verse: Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but that very Spirit intercedes with sighs too deep for words. – Romans 8: 26 Have you ever thought to yourself, I don’t know how or what to pray? I don’t know how to word what I’m going through or feeling? I believe that we all have been there at one time or the other. Communicating to God what is happening in our lives, as difficult as it may be at time, is actually very important, just as it is in any relationship. But, those times when our lives and feelings are too much, like when we are lost for words, or simply do not know how to pray about what is happening, can feel discouraging. There is great news for those times because this is one part of our lives where the Holy Spirit interacts with us. The Spirit says the words we cannot say in prayer. This sense of deep understanding is beautiful and purposeful, aligning with God’s character. We are never misunderstood or misrepresented by the Spirit. How beautiful is it, that the deep, painful, longing groans of the human soul are understood and interpreted by the Spirit in prayer. I hope that you can join me in saying that I am thankful the Spirit resides in me. If that is not the case, there is no better time than the present to invite Him to come live inside you to bring you the comfort and help you need when you are at a loss for words when communicating with your Heavenly Father. – Commentary by Kristina Taylor and Pastor Mike Today’s Prayer: Lord, our prayers when we do not know what to say are so important. I pray that instead of being discouraged by not knowing what to say, we are encouraged by knowing that we can simply sit in Your presence and the Spirit will pray for us. Thank You for this gift. Amen. |
