prayer rescue

Josh Linton

I freeze. Stop. Pause.

The words don’t come.

Here for a cause.

To tell him just some

Of the things he’s made

Possible in my life.

But thoughts on parade

Create great strife

Inside my heart.

Confusion and hesitation;

Where to start?

Oh, the frustration…

But then I stop in confidence

With reason for ponder.

Thanks to the Spirit he sent—

My God doesn’t have to wonder.

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 with groans that words cannot express. And he who searches our hearts know the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God’s will. –Paul.

    Thank you for all your inspirational words, enjoying reading all of blog. I was searching the internet for ‘thin places’ and found your site. I experinced a ‘thin place’ on Iona last month, but I now recognise other thin places from that experince. You could be speaking of my spiritual life with your blog.
