During my morning prayer time, I came across an encouraging and familiar passage of Scripture and a comment that really struck a chord in my heart. You see, sometimes when I pause to pray I'm at a loss...I can go through the motions and pray the typical things...But, sometimes there is this longing in me to pray for something more. Yet, I find myself struggling to put words to what's stirring inside of me. Often, I get frustrated and move on to something else. I know that's not the right thing...but, it's what I'm most likely to do when in that situation.
"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 8:26-27)
There was a statement regarding this passage of Scripture on the
Sacred Space website. It said,
"The dialogue with God continues even when our mind and heart are weary."

I might change that last line to when my mind and heart are empty!
