“He helps us in our weakness….” (Romans 8:26)
I can hear him now: “O Lord, I am so weak. I am so pitiful, Lord. How you can ever use a nothing like me is beyond me, Lord. I’m so ignorant, so fearful, such a sinner.”
I was soon tired of his praying and all I was doing was listening. I wondered how the Lord felt about it.
I think I know.
He takes it in stride. He knew from the beginning who we were. Nothing about us surprises Him.
God’s word says, “It is not in man who walks to direct his own steps” (Jeremiah 10:23).
We keep getting surprised on discovering it.
