Lent Day 35


It's one of those days that I have a lot on my heart but not a lot to write. I can't congeal my thoughts into something elegant enough to crystalize for this blog. I wish I could. Writing these posts often speaks deeply to my soul....today is a day I could use a good word.

I look out into the world and see so much darkness, pain, sadness. I read my facebook feed and my heart reaches out to people suffering with cancer or addictions. I read about couples longing for children. Children being torn from homes that love them. Loneliness. Isolation. Stress. Anxiety. Life comes with an arsenal of injustices.

And I look up and I see Jesus on a cross.

Sometimes it just doesn't make sense.

"The Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words"
