“Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but that very Spirit intercedes with sighs too deep for words.” (Romans 8:25)

Sometimes I’m reminded in the morning by the person I live with that the morning is for quiet, for easing into the day. It is not for me expounding on one subject after another. Verbal processors tend to be verbose at the wrong times.

Words I have in spades – and weaknesses too. Good thing that God helps us in our weakness. And even supplies the words that aren’t words, but sighs too deep for words. So much better, sometimes, to keep mum and experience God’s Spirit at work within you.

“O God, who on this day taught the hearts of your faithful people by sending to them the light of your Holy Spirit: Grant us by the same Spirit to have a right judgment in all things, and evermore to rejoice in his holy comfort; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.” (Day of Pentecost -BCP)
