Good Morning!! The Bible tells us that God knows our every thought and every word on
our tongue (Psalm 139:1-4). And when we don't know what to pray for, the
Holy Spirit "makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be
uttered" (Romans 8:26). These biblical truths assure us
that we can have communication with God even without a word being
spoken, because He knows the intentions and desires of our heart. What a
comfort when we are perplexed or in deep distress! We don't have to
worry if we can't find the words to express our thoughts and feelings.
We don't have to feel embarrassed if sometimes our sentences break off
half-finished. God knows what we were going to say. We don't have to
feel guilty if our thoughts wander and we have to struggle to keep our
minds focused on the Lord.
Before a word is on my tongue you, Lord, know it completely.—Psalm 139:4 (NIV)
Before a word is on my tongue you, Lord, know it completely.—Psalm 139:4 (NIV)
And for that matter, we don't
have to worry about a proper posture in prayer. If we are elderly or
arthritic and can't kneel, that's okay. What God cares about is the
posture of our heart. What a wonderful God! No
matter how much you falter and stumble in your praying, He hears you.
His heart of infinite love responds to the needs and emotions of your
own inarticulate heart. So keep on praying!
Prayer does not require eloquence but rather earnestness.
"God is attracted to weakness,...HE can't resist those who humbly and honestly admit, how desperately they need Him."
"Blessed is he who has found his work, let him ask no other blessedness."
