the words are unimportant

Wednesday June 7th, Romans 8: 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 with groans that words cannot express. One of the deepest, most honest prayers I witnessed was when a friend of mine lost his mother suddenly and let out this long, loud cuss word, with fists clinched and face turned heavenward. I do not promote swearing as a regular part of prayer, but sometimes, in the intensity of the moment, words just seem unimportant. God knows, God understands, God hears and God loves.
