Rescue in Prayer

I freeze. Stop. Pause.
The words don’t come.
Here for a cause.
To tell him just some
Of the things he’s made
Possible in my life
But thoughts on parade
To create great strife
Inside my heart.
Confusion and hesitation;
Where to start?
Oh, the frustration…

But then I stop in confidence
With reason for ponder.
Thanks to the Spirit he sent—
My God doesn’t have to wonder.


In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. And he who searches our hearts know the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God’s will. –Paul.
