For those who find it difficult to pray, not always finding the words to say... like I, a lot of times still do. But it’s okay. For those just needing to hear and have agreement in prayer, it’s easier to do it together. Or those who just can’t seem to find the time, just listen and pray while you’re commuting or when you have a free moment to spare. The prayers are sometimes raw, sometimes focused on a particular issue or subject. Either way, God still cares and hears us.

So, are heavy burdens weighing you down? Feeling sad, angry or lonely? Or testings, troubles and temptations getting you into a conundrum (a complicated problem)? All these can have us feeling hopeless at times, but God will hear you even if you can’t speak the words you want to say. They don’t have to be so eloquent or flow smoothly and effortlessly. The Lord knows what you mean. He understands our heart cries. Even our groans...Romans 8:26-27 says, ”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 through wordless groans.” (NIV) ”And the Father Who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is sayin, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God’s own will.” (NLT)

So if you hear me humin’, singin’ or even groaning, don’t think it strange. I’m just praying in the Spirit. Please don’t be afraid or taken aback if you hear a little excitement in my voice, I’m just caught up in the joy, goodness or power of the Holy Spirit. I Hope you’re uplifted and encouraged in some way throughout our times of prayer. Now join me as I join my heart with the Lord’s heart this morning..Let’s Pray!

God be with you until we meet again. Grace and Peace God’s Beloved!
