I have been praying recently for the ability so simply bear all my intentions and concerns or a very complex and vast body of intentions openly to God in few words or even somthing as simple as a breath or single thought. It just there are so many things i want to say and even though i try to put them simply, many times they are pure emotion and i cant really describe what i feel.
I base this whole idea off of when Christ stood on the hill outside Jerusalem and said “oh jerusalem.” such a complex and wide reaching prayer expressed in a simple sigh.
I have been calling this thing im praying for the gift of groaning (I ask for it because i was allowed to do it once a while back and again this morning when i said the petitions in the lauds, its not wholly pleasant but it is very meaningful in restrospection), but is there a correct term for this? I know God doesnt care about terminology but im just curious is there is a term for this gift? and if groaning isnt the term, than what is groaning if anything?
Of course perhaps i should just be happy that it happened twice and leave it at that, cant force God to give us gifts.
