Sometimes Christianity feels too cliche and you just don't want to bother talking about any of it. All the phrases you would hear in the best selling church books to the same words you would hear in almost every prayer. All the words feel so dead. All the words spoken seem to carry no weight at all. As I pray, there are times when I feel like I should just shut up and stop talking. The words that come to my mind often feel like they are only repetitions of the past, regurgitations of what I have already heard, or they are just words that are just 'safe' and familiar to say. But thank you God, for sending your spirit to intercede for us through wordless groans. Sometimes I feel like prayer should just be an acknowledgement, a submission to the intercession of the Spirit as we take time to just let Him pray for the things that we ought to pray for. Not a passive submission but an active one. A submission that listens so intently in the silence...
a tool for me to remember things that I learn.
