Help!
I am in trouble, Lord. Help me! ~ Isaiah 38:14b (NLT)
In certain ways we are weak, but the Spirit is here to help us. For example, when we don’t know what to pray for, the Spirit prays for us in ways that cannot be put into words. ~ Romans 8:26 (CEV)
KEY IDEA:
The Lord responds to our trouble -- even when we're unable to express our need.
PRAYER:
Lord, I am so grateful for your intervention. I don't know how you do it. Even when I'm beyond words you jump in and hear the cries of my broken heart. All I can say is thank you. I'm going to relax because I know that you are watching out for me. Amen.
