Discombobulation With Thoughtless Communication??? No way!!
“You better be careful what you ask for because you might just get it” ... I'm not quite sure where this bit of sly faulty advise came from (though I do have a sneaking suspicion), but as well meaning as it might be, it probably has hindered many from doing exactly what God wants them to do ... He wants us to pray, to pray without inhibition, and to pray without fear of reprisal. He has made sure we can't mess it up.
In our times of great duress and sustained weakness, because we don't have the perception of Perfection, HE lays hold of and embraces the struggle with us. While in this embrace with our struggling soul, He supplies all the direct face to face conversation with our Heavenly Father that we need to guaranty that we will be understood way beyond what we could ever imagine. The Spirit makes intercession for us with groanings that cannot be uttered ... He does the groaning of our truest need.
Romans 8:22-27
“For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.
Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit Himself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And He (God) that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because He (The Holy Spirit) maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.”
"Sunantilambanomai” and “Huperentugchano” for you.
What??? Some pretty intense BIG Greek words to describe His HELP and His INTERCESSION. Trust this: In the details of His plan to actively love you, He has a secured a line of communication whereby you will always be Understood even when you don't understand yourself. You may even say mean and unthoughtful things as you writhe in personal pain and disappointment, but His love is embracing you and praying with and for you way beyond your abilities to speak.
Yes, sin does get in the way – confess (I John 1:9) ... and our silence robs us of truly joining Him in His active love for us ... SO ... Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. (Phil. 4:6)
Pray fearlessly,
