There have been times in my life
when I had to remain on my knees for what might have seem to others an eternity.
Particularly, when I was going through my healing journey and I could not seem
to find the words to pray. I would be weak and with tears running down my face,
I would plead in silence what I needed. One specific moment in my life my life
in the early 90’s that I was so broken one night drove up to the church and
threw myself on my knees and just started crying like a baby.
My whole world was falling apart
and I made some life-altering decisions that were negative for me and my
children. I could not utter the words. I could just groan and cry. Have you
ever found yourself in that situation? Maybe you felt this way after an abuse,
rape, neglect or even bullying by someone who clearly has it in for you? What
do you do when you cannot say anything or when you don’t know what to pray
about? The answer is to pray in the Spirit. Yes! Praying in the Spirit does
many things for you, in fact, the Bible states “Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what
to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with
groanings too deep for words.” Romans 8:26
The Spirit helps us when we are at
our weakest, our most broken moments, in times when we cannot utter one word
but just cry. This is why the Spirit is also known as The Comforter, for he
comforts us in our pain, in our trials and in our tribulations. What is amazing
about this verse, it shows us that the Spirit steps in and interprets for us
what we cannot say. The Spirit intercedes
for us with groaning too deep for words. How amazing is this?
As you continue your healing
journey you will have challenging days where it may seem that you cannot go on
but know this, you can because you are in His Spirit and when you cannot find
the words to pray, remember you have the Comforter and he intercedes for you.
So, seek His face and learn his ways. You are more than a conqueror.
