Praying When There Are No Words

- March 10, 2021

Now in the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know what to pray for as we should, but the Spirit itself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; and the One who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because the One intercedes for the saints according to God. (Romans 8:26-27) Beyond the visceral cry, “Help!” it can be hard to find the words for prayer.

About

As a TNBC survivor, a cardiac survivor, and a retired hospice chaplain, I want to offer some positive reflections for those on the journey of finding room to live with and after a life-threatening illness.

As an ordained clergy I come from a predominately Christian perspective; however hospice has given me a broader perspective and appreciation of other traditions so I will draw from them as well.
