Have you ever just had something on your mind/heart & you pray & you pray & you pray, & then you just say, "God, I don't know what to say anymore? I don't know how to pray this any different. I don't have any other words I can use!" That's kinda where I am right now. It's not that I think God isn't listening, I know He is. I also know that God is refining & doing what He needs to in this particular situation. So when I went to Him last nite I just said, "God, I don't know!? I'm at a loss!" And here is what He gave back to me....Romans 8:26- 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....so even in our times of just knowing that we need to pray for a person or situation, but not feeling like we have the words, the Holy Spirit speaks for us! We cry out & we're heard. That is so encouraging to me--so full of hope!! I pray that it is for you also. That you'll know even when the words aren't flowing God still hears your prayers!! And I also want to ask you to just lift up my request. I can't give out details right now, but just know that I appreciate you lifting my family up!!

Missi, I can surely relate to and understand exactly what you are going through...I am right there with you, concerning some things in our own lives right now. I have often told the Lord, "I don't know what else to say or how else to pray." Sometimes I feel like such a broken record. But, God has comforted me with the same verse He gave you! We have to keep praying, keep being the intercessor, keep standing in the gap, even though we are so exhausted and ready to quit. I believe the enemy senses when we are nearing a breakthrough, and this is when he tries his utmost to get us to throw up our hands in defeat and stop praying. God bless you, strengthen you, and give you renewed courage and determination to fight on, my sister. It will be so worth it when the victory finally comes! One more thing God gave me Sunday morning when the enemy was really coming in like a flood...I was so tired, and I did not feel like going into an intercessory prayer. I heard the Holy Spirit say to me, "Pick up your weapons and FIGHT!" I instantly knew that He wanted me to resist the devil and pray HARD, and I pressed through the weariness, and GOD came on the scene almost instantly. There is so much power in picking up our shield of faith and sword of the Spirit. Praise God! Sorry...I said way more than I meant to, but I am with you and just want you to know that I began praying for you and your family as soon as I read this.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Cheryl for your kind words & your prayers. It's so hard sometimes to keep praying, especially when your praying the same thing, but I know it's so worth it!!! Thank you again & I'm praying for your family also!! So thankful God has crossed our paths!! A fellow prayer warrior, when your struggling yourself, is just God saying, "keep going--keep going!!"
