You know those moments when all your thoughts are tightly bundled into one mess yet go every which way? Yeah, today's one of those days. It's at those times that I sit on this couch and stare out the sitting room windows...gazing upon the glorious morning sunshine dancing across the trees and carefully listening for the birds' song...Just allowing the peace of the morning to quiet my mind and calm my soul. Sometimes my thoughts still don't know where to turn or which path to take--they just keep spinning. That's when only God's voice can accurately penetrate the wall of confusion, doubt, and insecurity I've built up within me. My cousin also realized this when speaking with me and instead of prying, turned to praying. The result was a miracle. Do you believe in miracles? If not, let me enlighten you; God definitely guided my dear cousin's eyes and hand as she paged through the Bible and found these verses in Romans:
The Holy Spirit helps us in our distress.
For we don't even know what we should pray for,
nor how we should pray.
But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings
that cannot be expressed in words.
And the father who knows all hearts
knows what the spirit is saying,
for the spirit pleads for us believers
in harmony with God's will.
~Romans 8:26-27
Do you see how awesome our God is? I was definitely awe-struck. It was exactly what I needed to hear at that moment. An unknown peace rushed over me and suddenly I was given the strength. How cool is that?! Even when we don't have the words, knowledge, or maybe even self control to pray, the spirit will intercede for us; the spirit prays in accordance to God's will so what have we to worry about? Just goes to prove, when the rain keeps plummeting down, and the dark clouds stubbornly hover, God has all the power and control to reveal His love in an unique and earthshaking way: a rainbow. Lovely =)
Hope you all have a beautiful day.
Genuinely,
Bergie
