When you have no words

"The most painful goodbyes are the ones that are never said and never explained"

Sometimes the ones we love the most are also the ones who can hurt us the most. There is a family who Is very near and dear or my heart and they are going through a trial. It's hard to know what to say sometimes but I know that I can pray. Growing up in a God fearing, Christian home, I was always taught to pray in the good times and in the bad times. And as an adult, I still follow these teachings. There is a song by Point of Grace that expressed how I feel sometimes when I pray and the lyrics go something like this, 

"If a picture's worth a thousand words, what are they?

And since You're spirit intercedes for meWhat do you hear when I pray?

'Cause I'm finding it hard to find the wordTo let you know how my heart can hurtSo I'll sing the tune and let you fill in the words"
Sometimes, I start to pray and my heart is so overwhelmed in pain and hurt, that I don't even know how to pray. I am so glad that The Lord knows my heart and knows how I am feeling without me ever saying a word. 
My heart is hurting for this family. There is a member of their family, and they are turning their back on everything they have been taught and they are walking away from the family. What do you say to the brokenhearted parents? What abut the angry and confused siblings? I say what I know and what I believe. "I love you. I'm praying for you. And God can fix any situation."
Jeremiah 29:11; KJV     "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith The Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end."
