Romans 8:26 (CEV) In certain ways we are weak, but the
Spirit is here to help us. For example, when we don’t know what to pray for,
the Spirit prays for us in ways that cannot be put into words.
At one point during out trip last week I was trying to
navigate as Joe and I sought to find our way to part of the original Route
66. We had the Rt. 66 guidebook and set
of turn by turn maps and I was reading the directions to him. Joe asked some questions I couldn’t readily
answer. Finally I read him the paragraph
and said “These are all the words I have to work with.” Immediately I was reminded of Romans
8:26. Sometimes when we pray we are
limited by the ways in which we can express our desires. Thankfully the Holy Spirit takes our few
words and translates them into just what we need for God to hear. On our trip we had the book and maps. Using
my iPhone apps we could find hotels and restaurants along with their addresses
and also the addresses of points of interest mentioned in our guidebook. We put
these into our GPS and went straight to them. It might not have been the Holy
Spirit but the marvels of modern technology are pretty neat.
Thanks, Lord that we have the Holy Spirit to intercede for
us when we don’t know how or what to pray.
Thanks for not letting our loss for words hinder your ability to discern
our deepest desires. And thanks Lord for
GPS and Google! Amen.
Have a great day,
Paige
