26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. Romans 8:26
There are times in our lives where we are in extreme turmoil, so much so that the only thing we can utter is, “Help!” We run to God, with arms and legs flying and our mouths wide open crying. We lunge at Him to be kissed and embraced by His love. We don’t necessarily bow down and proclaim who He is first, because we are in pain and going to Him is our acknowledgment of who He is. We are like children running home with our scraped knees to mum. Mum knows we love her, she knows who she was without us proclaiming it, and the fact that we came to her first, is our proclamation of her importance.
When we run to God, don’t worry about what you say, or how you say it. God listens. He loves His children and is willing to apply first aid to our hurts. He wants to hold us in His arms. He enjoys kissing and telling us He loves us. Running to God is exactly what He desires. So, run to God! Run for dear life! ~ Jenny Calvert.
Dear Lord, Help! I need you! Amen
Prayer for Patience to Follow Christ
Heavenly Father, grant me the patience today to follow the road you have set out for me, fully trusting in your will. Let my confidence not rest in my own understanding, but in your guiding hand; let my desires not be for my own comfort or pride, but for the joy of your kingdom. For your cross is our hope and our joy, now and unto the day of eternity. Amen.
Help us to lean on your goodness
Good and Gracious God, We thank you for the resilience and grace that you have given us to bear this time of Covid virus.
Lord help us to lean on your goodness in times of suffering and isolation
so that we may be aware of others and serve them.
We offer this prayer in the Name of Jesus Christ, Our Lord and Saviour. Amen.
Benediction
O Lord Jesus Christ, who said to your apostles, “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you”; I pray that your whole church, the body of all faithful people, will know your peace and live in harmony and unity, one with another, in accordance with your wishes. This I pray to you, who live and reign forever. Amen.
