Romans 8:26-27 NIV — 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. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.

At some point or another, each of us find ourselves waiting. Sometimes our waiting is short-lived, but often we find ourselves in a waiting season. My friend shared with me that in the military this is called “hurry up and wait.” If we look at the grand scheme of life we are all in a “hurry up and wait” mode and in a waiting room for our eternal life with Christ. 

Often when I am in a waiting season I am unsure of what to pray. Today’s featured scripture is a comfort to me. Even when I don’t know what to pray, the Holy Spirit intercedes for me and for that I am thankful.

How do you respond to waiting seasons? What do you do while you wait? As Chrisitans, our first response should be prayer. May we never lose our focus on Christ and may we surrender our steps to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. 

Let’s pray. Dear God, thank You for Your Holy Spirit interceding on my behalf. Give me strength and courage to surrender and allow the Holy Spirit to guide me. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
