When all I can do is groan out to God. The mess is too big. The future is too hard. The pain is too deep. Sometimes we groan because we don’t know what to say. Sometimes we groan because words just aren’t enough. 


The Spirit hears our groans. He joins with us in our groaning. He steps into the place of confusion, doubt, or fear. We’re His children! Isn’t that what a good parent would do? He adds His groans to ours.


But here’s the difference. While our groans are weak. His groans are strong. While our groans are full of confusion. His are full of clarity. While our groans feel like despair. His are filled with hope. Because He knows what His children need.
