At times there are just no words. Have you ever felt that way: when your experience exceeds explanation; when the circumstance defies any useful description; when the strength required to speak is altogether gone and you cannot even formulate a single word to express your desperation? If words were dollars you’d be living in abject poverty. And yet this is not a bad place to be because it is here where the Holy Spirit takes over.
There is an obvious stipulation that should govern your prayer life at all times, and that is to seek first the will of God. Minimally, if you can’t quite discern God’s will, you should offer to abdicate your will in favor of His, and that sometimes is enough to render you speechless. “I just have no words; I don’t know what to pray.” And suddenly sounds pour forth—unintelligible, inarticulate sounds; deep guttural groans that are not human in origin. We find the Holy Spirit at work and this we know. The Spirit never speaks a word that did not originate from the Father’s heart, His mind—which might be the perfect definition of God’s will. But what is most extraordinary is that these unintelligible, inarticulate sounds; deep guttural groans form through your mouth! And that means what is coming forth from your very lips is the mind of God.
