TODAY’S WORD…

.

…the Spirit also comes to help us, weak as we are.

For we do not know how we ought to pray;

the Spirit himself pleads with God for us

in groans that words cannot express.

.

And God, who sees into our hearts,

knows what the thought of the Spirit is;

because the Spirit pleads with God on behalf of His people

and in accordance with His will.

.

– Romans 8:26-27 (GNT)

REFLECTION…

.

There are times

when we go before the Lord to spend time with Him

and we find ourselves tongue-tied,

or unable to express ourselves,

or distracted by our many thoughts and problems,

or simply shying away out of a sense of guilt.

.

These, as are all occasions when go before the Lord,

are very special moments.

.

Whether I am full of enthusiasm and joy,

or else feeling downcast and broken, .

God always knows what’s going on in my heart,

and as I allow the Holy Spirit to move within me,

my focus will move from myself to God,

and my heart will sigh, moan and groan,

and reach out

to Him who is my Lord and my God,

my Maker and my Healer.

.

REPETITIVE PRAYER FOR TODAY…

.

Come Holy Spirit, come – move within me and make me whole.
