When I Have No Words
Sometimes, Lord, I struggle to pray.
My heart is heavy with the worries of the world,
but I can't put words to what I feel.
I watch people I love suffer, and my heart aches,
but all I can do is groan inwardly.
A thousand thoughts are running through my mind,
and yet I cannot find the words to express them.
I can't sleep, for my soul is anxious at many things.
I open my mouth to pray, but the words don't come out.
Sometimes, Lord, I struggle to pray.
But you know everything.
Every thought in my mind.
Every emotion in my heart.
Every deep, wordless longing of my soul.
Even when I have no words, you know, O God.
For your Spirit intercedes when all I have are groans.
Your Spirit reads every thought,
and translates them into words.
Thank you, Lord, for hearing my prayers.
Even when I have no words.
