Likewise, the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. ~Romans 8:26
My heart is wanting
More than I
Know how to
Rightly ask
Words evade
Thoughts elope
Sorrows perch
On quivering limb
My heart is crying
Bleeding, torn
Seeking hope
Beyond the now
Where everything
Seems silent
Voice of comfort
Passes by
My heart is healing
In the stillness
Steadfast, firm
Words unspoken
Convey with strength
The power beyond
My fragile mind
At last, I know
My heart is real
Amen
Indeed, it is in the dark difficult moments that we can feel the sweet presence of the Lord so real, so precious, and so comforting. I pray that the Lord brings comfort to your heart in the midst of your sorrow and loss. Sending love, hugs and prayers :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Marilyn. The Lord is giving me His comfort to get through this time, and His presence is so sweet and real.

When we are so tired, exhausted and at our wit's end that we can pray no more; that is when the Holy Spirit prays for us. Take courage, Martha. You are loved by God.
ReplyDeleteRemember the story of the men who carried a paralysed man in his bed. When they got to Jesus, they could not get near Him; so they went on the roof of the house, took off the tiles and lowered the bed with the man to Jesus.
The sick man was exhausted and very ill. He could pray no longer. He relied on the faith of his friends who did something good for him. Their faith saved him.
I, and many others, are praying for you.
God bless.
Thank you, Victor, for retelling the story of this man whose friends' faith and love saw him through so Jesus could heal him. Yes, the prayers and faith of others is valuable beyond measure to our hearts, and I'm so thankful for your prayers and the prayers of others.

Hauntingly beautiful, Martha. "Thoughts elope ..." Your words touch my heart.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your kind words, Myra. I'm glad my words touched your heart today!

That jumped out at me too.
DeleteDearest Martha Jane,
ReplyDeleteYes, it is very tough for having to walk through a deep valley of our life... But we never walk alone! There are kind people that surround us and great us and try to perk us up. We ALL are walking towards the very same goal and no doubt we will make it there 'together'.
Big all around hugs,
Mariette
Thanks for the kind words, Mariette, and for the virtual hugs. Much needed!

In the midst of unreal and surreal, good to find what's real.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is, David, that's for sure.
DeleteLove and blessings!
Beautifully written, I understand your situation. I am grateful God is all loving, so kind, no prejudice against anyone who wants Him to show them the way. I just do not know what I would do if God did not love me so much. The wacky world, the heatwave, being tired all the time, not getting good rest, those are all the things I bring to Him. I do you do too. But it is good for others to share in our trials. Take care. Know I am praying for you.
ReplyDeleteGod does love us so much in spite of who we are or aren't, and I'm glad to know you are as grateful for that as I am. Thanks for your prayers and caring thoughts, my friend.
DeleteLove and blessings!
beautiful. Yes I too find healing and hope in stillness.
ReplyDeleteI know you do, Jean. What would we do without the stillness?
DeleteLove and blessings!
