Devotionals - Five minutes at the pump

Fuel-stop devotionals.

Written to be read in the time it takes to fill two tanks. A new one every day, drawn from a year's worth of readings — scripture, a thought to chew on, and a prayer.

The Spirit GroansRomans 8:26
No. 185
The Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.Romans 8:26

When you don't have words — when the pain is too deep, the grief too heavy, the confusion too thick — the Holy Spirit translates your heart to the Father in groans that language can't carry. You never have to have the right words. Just show up.

Reflect

When is the last time you were in prayer and didn't know what to say? Did you know the Spirit was interceding even then?

Prayer

Holy Spirit, intercede for me today in the places I don't have words. Carry what I cannot express to the Father. Amen.
