I'm back.

Hello beautiful people!
The past several months have been very trying and spiritually exhausting. I found it unwise to post during that time and that is why I have been absent.
I've decided to get back to blogging with a new outline, and a new blueprint. I will be posting what God has been working on in my own life and how scripture can be applied. The verse for today is:

Romans 8:26

Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

This has been my life's verse since I was fifteen years old. For some reason it gives a great comfort to my soul and spirit to know that when I don't know how I should pray, Christ is my representative, and my mediator. He alone knows the true condition of my heart better than I do, and he knows my deepest needs, thoughts, emotions, and pains. I could not hope for a better intercessor. 

The point that this verse touches me the most is when I am at the end of my rope and prayer seems empty. Sometimes as humans, we do not know how to speak to our Savior. But the Holy Spirit who, dwells in us, is the wielder of the weapon that discerns the thoughts and intents of the heart  and knows what needs to be said on our behalf. (Hebrews 4:12)

To put it simply, we are finite creatures with finite wisdom if any, and finite knowledge of our true nature. Our Creator knew this, and knew what needed to be done on our account. 

If you're reading this, and you are feeling as if you don't know how to pray, let me encourage you with these words: "Find hope in Christ and know that he is speaking on your behalf." I'm not talking about finding hope hope that God will bring happiness into your life, or that the hurt that you're feeling will simply be taken away. I'm referring to you simply looking up and seeing the light at the end of the tunnel! There IS a light and God WILL guide you to it! Find your hope and satisfaction in Him, and even when prayer doesn't seem to be the solution, get on your knees and just talk to him. His Son, Jesus, is your mediator, and your Savior. 

Sincerely your Brother in Christ
