Have you ever
experienced it that you want to pray so hard, but you just can’t. It’s like a
mental block. You know God is real. You are certain He listens and grants
requests. You know He is always around, but you just cannot find the right
words to pray. You open your mouth to pray and nothing is coming out. You know
how/what you are feeling deep down on the inside of you but you can’t find
words to express yourself. It is a terrible experience.
Most times it
is as a result of a heavy heart/mind. You are so bothered and worried about
what you are going through that you do not even know what to pray for or where
to start from. Brokenness, unmet needs, emptiness, confusion, unbelief, fear,
depression, sin, bewilderment, sin – we can be so overwhelmed with the crushing
weight of these issues that we don’t even know how or what to pray. The very
enormity of our struggles silences us. Words become so scarce at that point. It
gets so worse that to even explain to people around becomes impossible.
However, help
has been made available for us whenever we find ourselves in such situations. God
knows that such times would come, which is why He sent the Holy Spirit. 8:26
says, “Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what
we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for
us with groanings which cannot be uttered.”
The Holy
Spirit is around saying, “May I help you?” He steps in when the familiar
phrases just don’t seem adequate anymore, when all we can do is groan. The Holy
Spirit is still here on earth because of you and I – to help us. So the next
time your prayer life hit rock bottom, just turn to Him and he will be of help.
He will give you the right words to pray and your life would never remain the
same again in Jesus Name. Amen!
