When the Spirit Groans

Scripture  Isaiah 38:14 (NIV)  I cried like a swift or thrush,  I moaned like a mourning dove.  My eyes grew weak as I looked to the heavens.  I am being threatened; Lord, come to my aid!Refrain  When I have no words, the Spirit still prays.Quote  Christian Wiman, from *My Bright Abyss*  “There are prayers that are not prayers  until they are torn from us.  There are silences  more faithful than speech.  And when all we can offer is a groan,  we can be sure that God is closer  than we ever imagined.”   Hosted on Acast.
