Groanings that cannot be uttered

"For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need" Hebrews 4:15-16

Where can we go when our burdens are too heavy? Where can we go when the things of life weigh us down? Where can we take those worries that scare us so much that we dare not even voice out loud? God's throne of grace!

This verse was posted as a status this morning and so timely. There are some things just weighing down on my heart that I dare not even voice aloud. If I can't voice them, how can I possibly find comfort? By bringing them to God. He is the great Comforter. He understands our every need, our every weakness. I am so thankful for the Holy Spirit's intercession on my behalf when I don't know how to pray, "Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered." Romans 8:26 Even when things are so great that I don't know how to even hand it all over to the Lord, His throne of grace is still there. He is my all sufficiency. He is there waiting for me to pour out my heart to Him, waiting for me to come before Him so He can wrap His loving arms around me.

So, I go before the Lord, my Savior, my gracious, loving Heavenly Father and pour my burdens out before Him and abide safely in the shadow of His wings; praying that He bestows grace and mercy upon me and comforts & calms my weary & worried heart.
