TWO

Dear Father,

Words refuse to escape my lips today and I cannot find them. Not only do they stall before reaching my tongue, those same words float around in my mind, failing to make complete sentences. Failing to join together in expressive thoughts. Failing to unite my emotions and intellect. Oh the agony of a soul at a loss for words. Yet as Creator of the universe, You have provided. For when humanity grips my spirit with unbelievable strength, and when defeat nags my mind with unbeatable vigor, the Holy Spirit intercedes for me. With groaning too deep for words. You, the God who knows all, intimately knows my heart.

Thank you Father.

Amen

 I found this on pintrest one day, searching for a prayer. It has been most appropriate for the days when I feel at a loss for what to say myself or any one else. It is the way I can allow the God of my understanding to search me and know my concerns without having to verbalize them. 

My other trick for when I don't have the words is to simply picture myself as a small child climbing into my favorite lap or overstuffed chair and curling up with a teddy bear, bunny, or blanket. When I feel better and I want to pray for you but don't know what to say, I put you in the chair and loan you the bunny.
