A Prayer for When There Are No Words
In this prayer, author Holly Grantham helps us express ourselves to God when we are having difficulty finding words because of the depth of our longings or the desperateness of our needs.
A Prayer for When There Are No Words
Sometimes, Lord,
there are no words adequate enough
nothing to capture the depth of my longing or the desperateness of my need
no human means to bridge the chasm between my reality and Your heart
In those moments, Lord
there are only groans, not unlike labor pains
sound pictures drawn by the Holy Spirit
spinning miracles of connection
Truly,
that is where I want to dwell
all of my days
in the hammock of hope that stretches between
all that I have
and
all that I wait for
Words will come
as will answers
but there is no need to wait for you
for You have already come
Praise be to God.
