This is where I connect with the Exodus story most deeply these days. That God hears our groaning prayer, and in hearing that groan, God’s plan for liberation is ready to unfold. Immediately.

Whether the intensity physical pain or the kind of sorrow that shakes you to the core, your groaning prayer was wordless and half formed, barely directed to the ear of God, barely audible, barely even articulated because of the burden you were under.

Just like some of us prefer to keep our physical selves in shape with Peloton, Orange Theory, CrossFit, water aerobics, chair yoga, or even a daily walk around the neighborhood, there are workouts for every spiritual style as well.
