"God wants to be near you. He will be near you, even in your silence. Sitting in silence with him is a great place to start." — Vera Schmitz

On today's episode:  What do you do when the very thing you need to do (pray) is the very thing you feel like you can't do? Today, Vera and Natalie talk about how the Spirit of God prays for us when we don't know how to pray. There is so much encouragement for us knowing that God knows our wordlessness and has made a way for us even in that place. The promise in this verse is the very thing we can cling to when we don't know what to pray. Read more about this verse in Chapter 10 of Dwell Differently: Overcome Negative Thinking with the Simple Practice of Memorizing God's Truth. 

Today's verse: "In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans." — Romans 8:26
