This is where I come when I have stuff
in my head. Ok. That’s partly not true, because I go to my other “online
journal” and pour everything there before I come here. Makes life easier I believe.
So child of God, have you ever woken up feeling like
the whole weight of the world was put on your shoulders? Where you wake up because
you have to? Now as someone who sometimes ministers in the church, it gets
worse when you have to lead people in prayer that morning. How do you pray when
your heart is so full and having an overflow of so many things? How do you even
tell them let’s pray yet you feel like you just had an encounter with an
oncoming train?
Rom 8:26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our
weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself
intercedes for us through wordless groans.
This
verse came to mind, and I chose to allow Him to intercede, to pray in me for
the sake of His people. The congregation is what actually matters for I can
sort myself out once I’ve done His work. Yes He came, when I couldn’t utter
some words, yes the people prayed and yes my spiritual authority told me God is
doing something great in me. You see, in my own sight, I couldn’t ‘hack’ it
today, I even wished someone could help me out and lead the prayers, but I have
realized, when you can’t pray, go to where people are praying. God shows
Himself strong in our weaknesses.
We
all come to such a moment in life, when all we can do is just stay quiet and
let Him do as He pleases. His will, and not our will to prevail. The greatest thing is
that He has assured us that He is always there with us. He will never leave nor
forsake us. In the high waters, He is there, in the raging fires, He still is
there. God is not a man that He should lie. So child of God, no matter the
circumstances you are facing, just rest at His feet and allow Him handle
everything for you.
Shalom
