Groanings & intercession

Joy and Jen both blog about their reactions to the overwhelming loss of life in the Asian earthquake/tsunami.

Both have put some good thoughts on their blogs for which I am grateful; its better than I can do. I've thought about what to say, but I can't get my brain around this event.

It's times like this that we're reminded of our own powerlessness and the all-powerful God who created us. But of all the Scripture that I could think of in such an incomprehendable situation, I'm repeatedly drawn to Romans 8:26. Thank goodness that we have a Savior who can step in with groanings which cannot be uttered when our own words fail us.

May that intercession bolster our own prayers for the untold numbers of people impacted by the tsunami.
