The Bible is filled with many powerful and eloquently spoken prayers. However, that doesn’t mean only eloquent prayers move God. And, thankfully eloquent words are not required when talking to God.
The Reverend Charles Spurgeon once said, If the eloquence of our prayers mattered to God, then eloquence would be more valuable than grace — but it is not so.
Excellency of speech is not what moves God to work on our behalf.
God is moved by the honest and sincere cry of a broken heart and a contrite (crushed like powder) spirit.
It’s a good thing that God doesn’t require eloquent words because, in the midst of great distress, deep anxiety or overwhelming grief we find ourselves at a loss for words. There are times when our heart is so heavy that we just can’t find the words to say.
In this episode we’ll discuss a few personal examples as well as lay out four ways to pray when you can’t find the words to say.
Thanks for listening and let’s keep building!
