Sometimes we're left speechless. Paralyzed by shock or fear or just plain confused, confounded or disoriented.
Sometimes the most open, honest, and sincere prayer is this one; "HELP!"
That's Okay. God knows what we're going through. It's times like that when I may just keep reciting the Lord's prayer, or tell God straight-out, "I don't know what to do, I don't even know what to ask you or how to pray about this..."
Ever get to the point where you either want to follow the age-old advice to "let go and let God," but you just don't know how? Or have you been at that place where you just want God to hold you and comfort you and help you fall asleep?
He will. Just like Jesus prayed to the Father for His disciples, the Holy Spirit prays for us too.
"In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God." ~Romans 8:26-27
Prayer does not need words. Sometimes we just need to be silent and just BE with God. Let our heart do the talking instead of our heads.
