Too deep for words

Romans 8:26
Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but that very Spirit intercedes with sighs too deep for words.

Fears, hopes, dreams

All jumbled up

in a tangled mess

I want to separate

and compartmentalise

make things neat

and presentable

instead of the bourach it is

I want to focus

on one thing at a time

and then move onto the next

But you, God

know me better than I know myself

You keep me grounded

reliant on your transformative love

You counter my

“I’ve got this”

with your “Really?”

You make me laugh out loud

at the absurdity

And, when I catch myself,

you remind me gently 

that your love

is unconditional.

And, on those days

when I don’t even know how to pray

Your Spirit intercedes

with sighs too deep for words

And that is enough

More than enough
