No Words…
Romans 8:25-27 (New Living Translation)
25 But if we look forward to something we don’t yet have, we must wait patiently and confidently.) 26 And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words. 27 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.
Today started off, with a list of things that I needed to do, for my businesses. I had two pages of notes that needed to be dealt with and another page of miscellaneous items that needed to be taken care of. But before my day “Officially” began, while it was still dark, at 4:57 am, in the stillness of my space, I committed to pray, I committed to pray with my God daughter and the teens to include my daughter, about issues, hurts, pains, and things that needed a touch that only He (God) could provide. Sometime later it was time to pray for the needs and request of those who are fasting with me, and those who just asked me to agree in prayer with them for different concerns, and heart felt needs, and desires. As I earnestly sought God for those I love, know, and even some I didn’t, my heart lay heavy with my own concerns and misgivings over things, and relationships that remained unsettled. Even knowing the way I felt my heart would not dare let me interrupt my flow for others to interject, my own request. This battle was familiar to me and I had been to this place before. I found myself with no words; no words to articulate my own pain, or my own frustration.
As the day turned into afternoon and then into early evening, I received a phone call, that reduced me to a place of uncontrollable sobs, two people that I love and adore and that are truly my sister and daughter had begun to feel my burden and began to hear a call, that I had not made, and step out of a place of comfort and into a place of true friendship, sisterhood and Godly foresight, that I knew nothing about. As my God daughter explained to me what they had talked about, and what they had decided on my behalf, I again had not words, but it was because I knew God had heard the very desires of my heart and the need that had me partial paralyzed. All I could do was weep, before the Lord. In those moments all I could do was thank God for moving, and bringing an answer when I had not even felt worthy enough to ask the question. He stepped into my right now, and made it known that He was King of King and Lord Of Lords, and even without a word being said He knew what I needed most to get me from being shackled to a situation to beginning to get free from it, quicker than quick, more suddenly than sudden. God had used two people that although close to me, I did not go into detail about the truth of all that lay upon my heart.
Many times we lack the words to articulate what we need, what we want and where need to be. We are stuck; we lay prostrate in the presence of God, seeking His face for others, or even understanding that we need to be in that very place, but not having a clue what to say, or how to say it. But I am so glad God reads our tears, our groans, our silence and especially our heart. He knows what we have need of and the Holy Spirit will interpret that need, that pain that desire, that concern and that loneliness of the situation. Jesus than takes all that we haven’t said but that the Holy Spirit has deduced and intercedes to the Father for us, and then it is God the Father that commands it to manifest on our behalf. I am so glad that even in my weakness, my frailty, my inabilities, my worst and my best times there is a triune God that can hear the very cries of my heart and the very whimpers of my soul and He will answer, even when I feel, unworthy to receive, that answer. “Casting All Our Cares Over On Him, For He Cares For US!” He hears when we don’t speak and He even answers when we have not even asked! What an awesome God we serve!
