Written by Laura Murray, a contemporary author. This is an excerpt from her work “Holding Hope.”
Hope often involves waiting. Waiting for a different future, positive diagnosis, or change in a situation. As we wait we cannot always articulate our thoughts and feelings as the gravity of the waiting weighs on us. And it can get lonely. No one else may be able to understand or relate at the depth of our being. And God has not left us alone in our waiting, and attempts at hoping. He gave us the Holy Spirit and reminders that we are not alone.
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. [Romans 8:26-27]
