Wordless Groans
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.
And
we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who
have been called according to his purpose. For those God foreknew he also
predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn
among many brothers and sisters. And those he predestined, he also called;
those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.
Romans 8:26-30
Never
question God’s motives. There are things going on we will never understand.
Just know that when people die around us, whether our mothers and fathers, our
wife, or our children and grand children, it is God’s will. Nothing ever just
happens.
God’s
loving sovereignty allows things to happen and for His presence to be made
known to us. We don’t even have to ask. Those needs can come, even in the form
of wordless groans.
Our greatest comfort in sorrow is to know that God is in
control.
