I am sitting outside the ICU room where our son Eric is resting by means of a ventilator and heavy sedation fighting pneumonia. Throughout the day I have voiced many prayers and heard of many by friends and family. Tonight when words no longer seem sufficient, I take great comfort in the following verse of Scripture:

In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. Romans 8:26-27 (NASB)

Amen.
