When your heart can’t find words…

Publication date Apr 6, 2024

Do you just not feel like praying today, friend?

Don't worry if you're nodding right now because that applies to you. That doesn't make you a worse Christian. It's actually completely normal for us to struggle with prayer from time to time:

“...the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.” (Romans 8:26 NIV

That's in the Bible too! So, friend, you don't have to beat yourself up today while you may have opened the Bible but the words just won't come out of your mouth. Or maybe you haven't even taken a moment to seek God's presence, even though your heart is so full. Even though there's so much you would like to tell God. So much you would like to ask Him for.

Relax. Take it easy.

Look at how God's Word wants to encourage you today:

“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 through wordless groans. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.” (Romans 8:26-27 NIV

friend, just come before God today, even if you can't find words. Stay in this silence for a moment (maybe while listening to the song I'm attaching today) and open your heart to His presence.

You can approach Him without words, and experience the power of His Holy Spirit!

friend, consciously pause with God today, even if your heart can't find words.

And today, I want to speak blessings over you, friend! May the peace of God fill your heart!

You are a miracle!
