at a loss for word
7/8/07
Romans 8: 22-27
"But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he already has?But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently. In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness, We do not know what we ought to pray for, with groans that words cannot express. And He who searches for our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will." v24-27
But it is important to remember that prayer is not a one-way flow of words.Just being still and quite before the Lord is an important part of praying. The Lord knows what you want to say long before you utter a word, long before you sit down in your favourite place to pray. He knows your thoughts before you even think them. he'll minister to you while you'er silent.
When you can't seem to pray, create a place of stillness withim you.And when you can't find the words, let the Holy Spirit intercede for ou "with groans that words cannot express"
Responding: Am I aware of God's presence?- The answer for myself is yes...wont elaborate.
Silence and stillness can also be prayer.
