Meanwhile, the moment we get tired in the waiting, God’s Spirit is right alongside helping us along. If we don’t know how or what to pray, it doesn’t matter. He does our praying in and for us, making prayer out of our wordless sighs, our aching groans. He knows us far better than we know ourselves, knows our pregnant condition, and keeps us present before God. That’s why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good. Romans 8:26-28 (MSG)
I love how the MSG puts this text....we get tired in the waiting. Overwhelmed, tired, sad, broken, pick your word. There are times in life, maybe hours or days or months or years that it seems like we can't even lift our hearts in prayer.
Don't give up. You are not alone. The Holy Spirit is right there with you. God has not left you during those times. Maybe, just maybe you can't even utter one word in prayer. The Holy Spirit does it for you. Maybe you can only say 'Help me' or whisper the name of Jesus. That's enough because the Bible tells us that our Advocate, the Holy Spirit, prays for us. He takes our groans and sighs and gives them to God continually so we are always on his mind.
If you are going through a time like this, know you are being cared for. Know that you are loved and that God is near....right there beside you...hearing your heart.
