I had to wake up early yesterday morning for some work to be done in my house. Whilst I was praying, these verses arrived:
The Spirit, too, comes to help us in our weakness. For we don’t know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit expresses our plea with groanings too deep for words. And God, who knows everything in our hearts, knows perfectly well what the Spirit is saying, because her intercessions for God’s holy people are made according to the mind of God.
(Romans 8:26-7; TIB).
Filling my soul,
You pray within me –
Lord, I’m your willing slave.
Pleading on my behalf
For others –
Lord, please forgive and save.
Making me weep,
With sighs and groaning –
Lord, please touch every mind,
Ending our hatred, wars
And bloodshed –
Heal us, for we are blind.
In their blind conceit, they cannot see how wicked they really are.
(Psalm 36:2; NLT).
You will open the eyes of the blind.
(Isaiah 42:7; NLT).
