When words are difficult

Read · Romans 8:22–27

Read the passage in its whole chapter and notice its setting.

Reflect

Paul describes a world that groans and a Spirit who helps us in weakness. Christian prayer has room for longing that we cannot put into words. Silence need not mean that prayer has failed.

Pray

God, You know what I cannot explain. Meet me in my weakness and help me take the next faithful step. Amen.

Carry it into the day

Sit quietly for a minute; you do not have to fill every silence.
