I lost my voice.

Figuratively anyway.

My heart was full,


and yet,
when I attempted
to speak,
to share,
to cheer,

I felt used up…stifled.

My words felt empty,
hollow.

I was convinced that every area of my life needed
improvement but I was
paralyzed
at the enormity of the task.
In addition,
I felt as if I could do nothing
well enough.

But I was reminded that

… the Spirit helps us in our weakness.
We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us
through wordless groans.
27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit
intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.
28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him,
who have been called according to his purpose.
Romans 8: 26-28
