There are times when words fail and we don’t know how or what to pray, when emotions are tender and raw. Moments when it’s all just too much. We feel the need to pray, want to pray but can’t, or don’t even know what to pray for anymore or where to begin or doubt its effectiveness - with sighs too deep for words.
These are times of complete openness and honesty, and the good news is that we can rest in the Lord and we can fall, even collapse into his arms, release the worries and cares and concerns and anxieties that fill our lives and remember that there’s nothing that can separate us from God’s love.
We can collapse into the arms of our good shepherd, who holds us with a love that will never let us go. Held in that love we are free to sigh knowing the Spirit is sighing with us.
Romans 8:26-27 "But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words. And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God’s own will."
