Day 72 - What Do You Pray When You Can't Find the Words to Say?

      This doesn't happen very often.  Anyone who knows me would attest to that.  There have been very few times since I became filled with the Holy Spirit that I didn't know what to pray.  Tonight it happened.  A woman who I hadn't seen at church in quite sometime was waiting outside the prayer room before service when I got upstairs.  I said hi to her thinking that she was waiting for Pastor whose office is across the hall.  I went in and began praying.  A few minutes later she poked her head in the door and I invited her to come in and pray with us.  She walked over to me and I could tell that she was waiting on someone or something, so I asked.  She was looking for the Ministry team leader or Pastor neither of which were there so I asked if there was anything I could do. 

     As she told me what her need was all I could do was hug her.  I didn't have an answer to help her, but I offered to pray for her.  The whole time I was praying though I didn't even know what words to pray.  I had to reach out of the atmosphere almost and pull them down.  When I would try and think, I found my mind blank.  Maybe that is because there is nothing in the natural world that is going to be able to help this woman.  She needs something from the supernatural world, from Heaven.  

    When things are really bad, I suppose that is how we all are.  Nothing in this earth realm will satisfy us.  We need a touch from God.  We need the One who supplies all of our needs to shift things around and work every situation together for our good.  We, myself especially, needs to know that He is the only One who can accomplish these things.  We need to trust that He will.  So tonight I am trusting that He will take care of this woman and be with her and guide her every step in this journey.  I thank Him that He has already made a way for her through Jesus Christ.
