Speechless

"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." Romans 8:26

I have witnessed this truth in my life time and time again. Often, we get so bogged down, so overwhelmed with life's stressers and frustrations that we just wilt in the Lord's presence. We are thirsty, so thirsty, but cannot begin to explain to the Lord what we need. Guess what?? He already knows! He knows how much we can handle and sometimes we must break before He can begin to mold and shape us and then unfold His glorious plan for our life out before us. How encouraging, how beautiful, and how sovereign is His might and power and spirit in our lives if we allow it.

When I was praying in the car ride home today He revealed this verse to me. I was tired and grumpy and didn't think He could speak to me anymore today--whelp He did. :) He showed me that when I feel weak and exhausted I can lay my burdens before Him and He will care for me--not only care, but "intercede with groans that words cannot express!" Wow, pretty powerful. Pretty awesome is My God!
