Talking with God
In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; (Romans 8:26, NASB)
I don't know about you, but there are times in my prayer life where I simply am at a loss. I feel overwhelmed by a situation and don't even know what to pray for, or I am going through something in my life that I don't know how to put into words, or I am wanting God's will and am not sure what it is or how to pray for it, or I am overwhelmed by God's goodness and don't know how to put what I am feeling into words that will do it any kind of justice.
That's when this verse in Romans just stands out. Is this not one of the coolest verses in the Bible on prayer??! Too often I feel like the responsibility of communicating adequately with God is all on my shoulders when in fact I have an unseen advocate who is taking what is in my heart and interceding on my behalf, on a level that goes far deeper than what I could ever experience or utter.
That is amazing. Truly amazing.
