With groans only you can comprehend. (Romans8:26) I love this statement! Have you ever had those times in your life when you were so overcome with hurt, anger, guilt or shame, that you had no words to offer the savior? All you could lift up to Him was the cry of your heart, the pain of your experiences, and the screams and groans of a wounded pitiful soul. It truly was all you had to give. I can tell you friends I have been there! I have screamed and cried and called out with never a word being formed. Believe me y'all he understood all of them and he stood right beside me His heart hurting with mine. See, He is my daddy! The only one I've ever known. He knows me and loves me he is angry with those who have wronged me. When I am hurt he hurts for me. When I have done wrong he desires to forgive me and bring me into right standing. I am His beloved and so are you!
I also believe there are times when he speaks deeply into our souls. We hear no words but we know he has been there. I have a friend who wrote me following a prayer session where we prayed over her and she began to cry out. She wrote me later and said " ya know I was having such a meltdown last night, I don't know who was holding on to me, or what you were saying, but the prayers have worked." I responded to her saying "we were all holding you and it doesn't matter what I said, because He was speaking to your soul and it heard every word. I am so glad you felt His peace." (Isaiah 26: 3) Praise God He is so good!! He is so faithful!! And He is such a good listener and He knows just the right words to whisper to a soul in pain!
