The Heartbeat of God

I feel so desperately in need, but I don't even know how to ask God for what I need. Maybe it's because I really don't know what I need. Whatever the reason, I'm going to be okay because the Spirit knows. When I don't know what or how to pray He steps in. What is more amazing than that? God is praying for me!

Wanting to dig a little deeper into what exactly the Holy Spirit is doing on my behalf I googled it, of course. One of the articles I perused gave me what I was looking for. Dr. Bradley Stuart in Malaysia, called interceding "identifying God's heartbeat for a matter." I really like that. Who better to know God's heartbeat than His Spirit? And when I am in need and don't know how to pray that is really what I'm looking for--God's heartbeat.

I went back to this verse and read the one following it and see that it is leading in the same vein. It talks about Him searching our heart and knowing also the mind of the Spirit. It continues to say that the Spirit intercedes for believers in accordance with God's will.

This reminds me of a time when I was in this very spot. I so desperately needed God to intervene in a situation. I was lost mentally, emotionally, spiritually. I didn't know which way to turn. But as I sank to the floor in my living room and cried out to God in wordless anguish I felt His embrace. It might have been ten minutes or an hour, I don't know. All I know was that when I rose I knew He was in control. I didn't see an answer. I didn't know what the road ahead looked like, but I was able to trust in Him.

Are you at a crossroads in your life? Do you need the Spirit of God to pray for God's heartbeat on your behalf? Take Him at His word. God loves to fulfill His promises. Today is your day to rest in His embrace.
