BIBLE MEDITATION: ?Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit Itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.? Romans 8:26

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT: You know sometimes in tragedy, we don?t know how to pray. We?re almost numb and inarticulate. We pray until we?re out of breath, and all we can do is just simply sigh and groan. That?s when God steps in. That?s when the dear Holy Spirit of God intercedes for us. He is there to help us bear the load. It?s the Holy Spirit that inspires, guides, energizes, and sustains our praying. And when we don?t know how to pray or what to pray for, thank God, the Spirit of God is interceding for us. Precious friend, if you?ve been through the storm, if you?re in the storm, or going into a storm; thank God, there?s One Who groans for you. God is there for you. You may say, ?Well, I don?t understand it all.? You don?t have to understand it. He does. We live by promises, and not by explanations.

ACTION POINT: Are you out of wordsí Don?t let that keep you from praying. Let the Holy Spirit take your thoughts and concerns and voice them for you. He cares so much for you. Thank Him for sharing your load and praying for you.
