The Holy Spirit, Our Helper

Romans 8:26-27 And in the same way—by our faith—the Holy Spirit helps us with our daily problems and in our praying. For we don’t even know what we should pray for nor how to pray as we should, but the Holy Spirit prays for us with such feeling that it cannot be expressed in words. And the Father who knows all hearts knows, of course, what the Spirit is saying as he pleads for us in harmony with God’s own will (TLB).

The Holy Spirit was given to us as a precious gift from the father. He was given to us to live in us and flow through us (John 7:37-39). He was given to us to empower and equip us for life, the quality and quantity of life that God has (eternal life). He is our helper! One of the paramount areas in which the Holy Spirit helps us with is in the place of prayer. 

We have to first of all admit that we do not know how to pray or what to pray for at times. At times we come to the place of prayer without much to say. Thank God for the Holy Spirit! When we invite him into our prayer life he comes to fill our moments of incoherency with Words of faith and power that grant us access into the throne room of the father. 

The bible says in the book of Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. At times we may not be praying in faith. If we are not careful we can pray out of fear, depression, or as a last result. Those kind of prayers will not be answered, God responds to faith. If you truly believe that there's nothing that is impossible for God, you'll never come into his presence afraid. 

When we lean on the Holy Spirit in the place of prayer, we can be rest assured that we will pray right. Because the Holy Spirit will help us to pray according to God's perfect Will. He knows the end from the beginning, he knows the plans of God for our life, he is able to see beyond the NOW and help us to get to the RIGHT place at the RIGHT time. 

Humble yourself in the place of prayer, you don't know it all. God does not need a show, he needs your faith. He does not need nicely crafted statements, he needs to hear you speak your faith in his Word. Admit that you have weaknesses and allow the Holy Spirit to carry you on the wings of grace into God's wealthy place. One way that we can do this is by praying in tongues, there are many myths about tongues but the bible says that it is the key to effective and fervent prayers...it makes the power of God available (Acts 1:8; Acts 2:4; James 5:16 AMP). When the power of God hits your situation, it can never remain the same!

Confession: Heavenly Father, I thank you for your precious Holy Spirit. Today I vow to yield myself to him in the place of prayer and receive help to pray according to your Will, Amen.

Prayer starter: Heavenly Father I come to you today, I asked for the help of your spirit as I go into a time of communion with you. In Jesus' name, Amen.



You're blessed!
