the REAL help in prayer

Romans 8:26-27
Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but that very Spirit intercedes with sighs too deep for words. And God, who searches the heart, knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.
O Spirit,
pray for me.
Do the praying for me.
Intercede before the throne of God for me.
Groan and sigh, O Spirit,
as only you can.

Holy Spirit,
you are the REAL help in prayer.
Breath through me.
Utter to the very heart of God
the secrets that I hold in my heart -- 
secrets, desires, longings 
that are often hidden from my own knowing.

Words fail...
quiet comes
love, embrace, stillness
at home with You...
rest,
awe,
gratitude,
the embrace of silence 
between to lovers...

It is enough.
It is a gift.
It is love.
Amen.
