Prayer in the Spirit

     If Christ is your Savior, His very Spirit lives within you. The Holy Spirit has several attributes. Throughout the Bible, He is called our advocate, our counselor, our teacher, the Spirit of truth. He is our intercessor and our interpreter. Aren’t sure what or how to pray?

In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. Romans 8:26

     The Spirit knows the will of God. He hears our hearts and connects with us. He stands up for us, comforts us and interprets our prayers for our own good and gives them to the Father. I don’t know about you, but this leaves me in awe of the work of God. All of the times we don’t know how to pray, He prays for us and feels the emotion right along with us.

     Jude is one of the sons of Mary and Joseph, half-brother of our Lord. He encourages us to build ourselves up in the faith. The Holy Spirit assists us in doing just that.

But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in God’s love, as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life. Jude 1:20-21

Father,

How thankful we are to have the Holy Spirit residing within us to advocate for us, to comfort us, to teach and guide us and to help us build up our faith. Thank You for Your Spirit.

In Jesus name,

Amen
