When you don't know what to pray

Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groaning too deep for words. And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose (Romans 8:26-28).

Have you ever had one of those days? One of those days where problems - big and small, come at you like dodge balls? You feel you've become a pro at bob and weave...still at the end of the day, by the time your head hits the pillow, you're exhausted?! Yeah, me too. It's those days that I'm not even sure what to pray - how to pray - who to pray for. Right?! Anyone with me? 

I have found that if I can just utter the words "thank you", immediately, I can feel the Spirit cover me in peace like a blanket. He searches hearts and knows what we need before we even ask. He intercedes on our behalf. Try it today. In Jesus mighty name I claim and ask these things, amen.

The Alpha & Omega

After this I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven! And the first voice, which I had heard speaking to me like a trumpet, said, "come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this." At once I was in the Spirit, and behold, a throne stood in heaven, with one seated on the throne. And he who sat there had the appearance of jasper and carnelian, and around the throne was a rainbow that had the appearance of an emerald. Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and seated on the thrones were twenty-four elders, clothed in white garments, with golden crowns on their heads. From the throne came flashes of lighting, and rumblings and peals of thunder, and before the throne were burning seven torches of fire, which are the seven spirits of God, and before the throne there was what looked like a sea of glass, like crystal (Revelation 4:1-6).

What do I see clearly in this passage today? He is SEATED on the throne. He's not pacing in worry and angst. He is not surprised by our world today. He's not anxious about who wants power; who thinks he's in power; or who has no power. He is all knowing, omniscient. He is all present, omnipresent. he is all powerful omnipotent. The Alpha & Omega. Therefore I am at rest and have peace that surpasses understanding. Lord, help me to remember this throughout the day and always. It's on the mighty name of Jesus I remember and ask these things. Amen.
