The Bible tells us that God knows our every thought and every word on our tongue. And when we do not know what to pray for, the Holy Spirit “intercedes for us”. These Biblical truths assure us that we can have communication with God even without a word being spoken, because He knows the intentions and desires of our hearts. What a comfort when we are perturbed or in deep distress! We do not have to worry if we cannot find the words to express our thoughts and feelings. We do not have to feel embarrassed if sometimes our sentences break out half finished- God knows what we are going to say. We do not have to feel guilty if our thoughts wander. We do not have to worry about a proper posture in prayer. What God cares about is the posture of our hearts. What a wonderful God! No matter how much we falter and stumble in praying, He hears us. His heart of infinite love responds to the needs and emotions of our own inarticulate heart. So let us keep on praying as He is near us and willing to grant our requests. Hallelujah! – Romans 8:26-27; Psalm 139:4
