When No Words Are Spoken

"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."

Romans 8:26-2 (NIV)

I was so thankful when I came across this verse many years ago. I hold it near and dear to my heart.

So often, when we hurt or are confused, we just don't know what to say or what to pray. This verse assures me that the Holy Spirit, who sits at the right hand of the Father, speaks for me. I can rest assured that my needs and wants are being conveyed in words, phrases and expressions that I can't even fathom.

I'm taken care of...Praise Jesus! What would I do without Him?
