Wordless Prayers

“Lord, all that I long for is known to you,
my sighing is no secret from you…
I put my trust in you, and leave you to answer for me” (Elisabeth Elliott).

Isn’t that a beautiful image? That even our sighs and groans that go too deep for words rise as evening incense to God with all our other prayers? That the Holy Spirit takes the wordless moans and aches and translates them to God’s ear?

In those times when we go before the Throne unable to articulate our need or express our longing, God knows it already. You and I can rest in the knowledge that the answer is given even before the question has been asked or even thought of.

You are in good hands. You are in God’s hands.
