WHEN YOU FEEL UNABLE TO PRAY, REMEMBER That The Spirit Himself Intercedes For You With Groans That Words Cannot Express. Some of your prayers that you consider frantic and unintelligible are actually quite profound. They rise from the depths of your heart, all the way to heaven. To form these deep prayers, you need only turn toward Me with the concerns that lie heavy on your heart.
I want you to watch in hope as you wait for Me, your Savior. Wait expectantly: confident that I will do what is best. The longer you have to wait, the more you must rely on your trust in Me. If you start to feel anxious, seek My help with short prayers such as "Jesus, fill me with Your Peace." You may breathe these brief prayers as often as needed. As you put your hope in Me, My unfailing Love rests peacefully upon you.
- Jesus
