Conversational Encounter

For those of us who struggle with saying the right things in the right way, any conversational encounter can be daunting. The awkwardness is only magnified when the conversation is with someone we esteem or the subject matter is important. We want to express ourselves clearly and accurately, but the proper words and expressions are difficult to come by.

Romans 8:26 says, “Likewise 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.” When you pray, don’t worry about speaking the right words, because the Holy Spirit and Jesus Himself step in and make your requests to the Father. Just remember to speak from your heart and your spirit.

After 16 years of vocational ministry, God has called me to a simpler ministry. Now I just proclaim His truth simply to those who are open to hear it. God is speaking through His Word and His creation.
