When We Don't Know What To Say - We Offer to Pray


Let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart
Be acceptable in Your sight,
O Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

Psalm 19:14

What do we say when we don’t know what to say?

Every now and then we are confronted by someone who presents us with a situation which leaves us speechless.  We know we need to say something, but we have no idea of what to say.

Not everyone who bares their soul is looking for advice.  Sometimes we just need to acknowledge that we heard what they said.  If the person is receptive we can pray with them on the spot, and if not, then we can tell them we will pray for them and then do it.  Rarely is an offer of prayer rejected. 

In any event, we can be sure that if we ask God, He will direct us to say and do what is right.
