When words fail

Sometimes when words fail you, you can only cry "Oh Lord, help me, help me..." continually. All the flowery words are gone, only down to the most basic cry of all:

"Help me, Lord..."

And when words fail you, you find no expression to convey your sadness to God. It's as if all the world's vocabulary cannot pinpoint why you are so downcasted. You simply weep and cry like a baby to God. Just saying "help, O Lord..." over and over.

When words fail you, it's sweet to know a truth, a truth far beyond any human wisdom and philosophy. That is, that God is hearing. God is seeing your affliction. God knows what you want to ask Him about. God knows your sorrow. God feels it. And God has His own timing and directions to handle the matter.

Sometimes when words fail you, don't try to speak. Cry, and weep, like a baby, in the bosom of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is God Himself.

Oh Lord, help me.
