Romans 8:26
"We do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us, with groanings too deep for words."
Today I found the spirit within me praying restlessly, as does happen on occasion. I don't really understand it, but intense, fervent prayer floods my throat, subconscious and heart, and while most people may think I am only slightly distracted, my mind is wrestling in an attempt to understand the spirit within me.
I think today's overflow of the spirit was brought about by the death of my cousin's maternal grandmother. My heart is heavily burdened for him and his family, and I believe the Lord's spirit is taking over where my conscious mind is far too inadequate to formulate the appropriate petitions for the hurting friends I ponder over.
Nevertheless, I am deeply gratified to the Lord for his presence in my life, in my heart, and for making Himself known to my mind and soul by creating within me a guttural response that though I do not wholly understand, I am aware of His life and truth and peace. Amen.
