Enjoy Life, Enjoy God

GROAN

September 17, 2009

Have you ever been so confused, so stuck in your relationship with God, you didn't know what to say, how to say it? Oh, you had something to say, you just didn't know how or what to say. No worries!

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 through wordless groans. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God's people in accordance with the will of God.
- Romans 8:126,27 TNIV

Just groan. Don't worry about the words, the inner turmoil, the lack of really knowing what's going on...just groan. The Holy Spirit is an excellent groan interpreter. "We do not know what we ought to pray for..." Just groan.

So there you have it...get about it...do some groaning now!
Joyfully,
