I Don't Know What to Say

Lord, I need your Spirit to intercede.

My mouth is open, but I can’t speak.

Like Hannah, I, too, suffer from a broken heart.

I have so much to say to You, but I don’t know where to start.

My misery knows no company.

I’m all alone.

You’re on the mainline; Lord, please pick up the phone.

I need to hear your voice, then I’ll be okay.

Until then, please teach me how to pray.

“Pray, then, in this way: ‘Our Father who is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. ‘Your kingdom come. Your will be done, On earth as it is in heaven. ‘Give us this day our daily bread. ‘And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. ‘And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. [For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen’].”

Matthew 6:9-13 (LSB)
