take it easy beezy

" 26-28 Meanwhile, the moment we get tired in the waiting, God's Spirit is right alongside helping us along. If we don't know how or what to pray, it doesn't matter. He does our praying in and for us, making prayer out of our wordless sighs, our aching groans. He knows us far better than we know ourselves, knows our pregnant condition, and keeps us present before God. That's why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good." - Romans 8

oh, the message, how i adore thee.
so this part of romans is about recognizing you are insufficient and that god doesnt hold your weakness against you, but rather helps you through it. its scary to think that someone knows me better than i do. knows all my desires and secrets and insecurities and fears and grudges, all the wonderful crap that makes up me. even stuff that i dont know is in me. but its comforting too, because the person who knows me best is also in complete control of my life and he's a pretty good guy, so thats a plus!
whenever i get impatient or pissed off at god, whenever i ignore him, and whenever i give up faith in him is when he comes closest to me and works the most inside of me, helping me in my weakness. its weird that i can be so terrible to someone and yet they react with more love. im glad i dont understand you, god
