When Words Fail Us

It can happen to anyone, anytime. When our heart flutters, our mind spins, and our lips can’t form a single word in our utmost desire to pray to God.  In this struggle of our silence who can help us?

 

“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 with groans that words cannot express. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God’s will.” Romans 8:26-27 NIV
 

We’ve all been there at some point in our life when we rush before God filled with a great need to share our hearts with Him. In our frustration even tears may begin to fall.

 

We have no idea where to begin, how to find the words adequate to express what matters most, no idea of what to say all. That’s when the Holy Spirit intervenes on our behalf and we can be confident He will do as he promises.

The Holy Spirit knows the trials we face, and those of our loved ones that lay heavy on our heart.

How wonderful is our Lord! His compassions never fail. He hears the language of our soul, the deep desires of our heart―no words are required. Even when words fail us, God never fails to hear us.

 
Though life can make my words a mess
When I pray You always give me rest.
 
Holy Spirit reign supreme in my heart forlorn.
Speak for me when my heart is torn.
 
Holy Spirit, all Divine,
Come dwell in this heart of mine.
