My apologies that today’s blog is so late. This morning I lost all access to WordPress, but am hoping that my amazing husband has now solved the issue.
Yesterday I woke very early in the morning, and began to pray. Just at the point of letting go of all words, this prayer came to me. I had to draw back from the beckoning silence in order to note it down. Perhaps writing it was a way of continuing to pray.
Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion.
(Ephesians 6:18; NLT).
The Spirit [comes to us and] helps us in our weakness. We do not know what prayer to offer or how to offer it as we should, but the Spirit Himself [knows our need and at the right time] intercedes on our behalf with sighs and groanings too deep for words…
Holy Spirit,
Pray within me:
You know all
My human weakness.
Holy Spirit,
Pray within me:
Pray with sighs
Too deep for words.
Holy Spirit,
Pray within me:
Pray on my behalf
For others.
Holy Spirit,
Pray within me:
Lift my pleading
Heavenwards.
…And He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because the Spirit intercedes [before God] on behalf of God’s people in accordance with God’s will (Romans 8:26-7; AMP).
