Devotional Song: … GO TO THIS LINK … Please take the time to take in a YouTube of images, song, and lyrics from the group Mercy Me singing … Word Of God Speak … poignantly singing of how God speaks to our every need through His Word.

Highlight Verse[s]: Romans 8:26 [NLT] … 26 Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
… When we can’t even find the words to express our needs, God’s Spirit will intercede for us before God’s throne of grace.

My Devotional Journal: Today's ODB author, Lawrence Darmani, used a story of gratitude to God for providing an African tribe His Holy Word in their own language. The ODB author writes … At a dedication ceremony during which a Bible translated into a local African language was presented, the area chief was presented with his own copy. In appreciation, he lifted the Bible to the skies and exclaimed, “Now we know God understands our language! We can read the Bible in our own native mother-tongue.”
Do my readers here desire to partake of God’s truth as much as this African Chief? I pray so; because each morning when I come to this quiet place to be with God, He is there to listen to my prayers and speak to me thru His word. And I hope I sense an “AMEN” from those reading with me today.
Because God’s very word [see Scriptures above] promises me (us) that I (we) can expect our Lord to hear us and to even intercede for us before God’s throne of grace when we don’t have the words, and especially when I pray God’s very own words back to Him (see photo).
And for that I will pray a loud ”HALLELUJAH!!” Will you join me?!!
=============
My THANKFULNESS: … Oh Abba Father, … thank You, precious Spirit, … for hearing my words, especially when they are Your own.
=============
My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, … King Jesus, … I pray, Lord, that You intercede for me when I don’t have the words. … Amen
