Lord, Answer My Prayer By Nina Smit

DAY 4 OF 5

Pray in the power of the Holy Spirit

Just as you will never be able to live by faith in your own power, you also cannot pray in the right way by yourself. Fortunately, God sends His Holy Spirit to help you with this. The Holy Spirit enables you to remain in God’s love and to wait for the mercy of Jesus because you know He has made eternal life possible by His death on the cross.

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of prayer. He teaches us to pray; He also stirs the desire to pray in our hearts. When we pray, He endows us with His divine power so that our prayers will have more power. When you pray in this power, that which you desire in prayer will no longer merely be focused on your own will, but on the Kingdom of God. Before you can pray in the power of the Spirit, you should be willing to set aside your own desires and pray for the things God desires.

You can comply with this calling to pray in the Holy Spirit only if you are willing to hand the control of your whole life to the Holy Spirit.

People who pray in the power of the Spirit live in such a way that others can see by their lives to whom they belong. Is this true about you yet? If so, you may rely on the Holy Spirit to fill your prayers with His miracle-working power. 

God wants you to talk to Him in prayer, therefore He sent His Son to enable you to pray and His Spirit to teach you how to pray. The Holy Spirit wants to establish a spirit of prayer in your life—ask Him to do this for you.

Prayer:

Holy Spirit, I would like to live in such a way that others will be able to see You in my life. Help me to submit my will to the will of God. Amen.
