The Spirit's Help

"Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness." (Romans 8:26)

It is precisely in our weakness that God's strength is most evident.  When we pray to God asking for strength He pours Himself out upon us in the form of the Holy Spirit and fills us with the courage, fortitude, might, and strength we need to face what we must, do what we must, and endure what we must.  He holds nothing back, but fully gives of Himself in love.  We just need to be open to the Holy Spirit and willing to allow Him to move with power and might in our hearts, our souls, and our lives.  He will give us all that we need and more so that in the weakest moments of our lives His power is evident.  And, by allowing His movement in our lives we will bring glory to the Father.

Prayer:

Lord, I open my heart, mind and soul to Your Holy Spirit.  Fill me with every gift I need to live my life in unison with Your will for me. Strengthen me and move with power and might in my life. Thank You for Your love and constant presence with me.  Amen. 

The Spirit Helps Us

"Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness." (Romans 8:26)

t is precisely in our weakness that God's strength is most evident.  When we pray to God asking for strength He pours Himself out upon us in the form of the Holy Spirit.  And, the Holy Spirit fills us with the courage, fortitude, might, and strength we need to face what we must, do what we must, and endure what we must.  God holds nothing back, but gives fully of Himself in love.  

We just need to be open to the Holy Spirit and willing to allow Him to move with power and majesty in our lives.  He wants to help us in every moment of every day.  May we open up and allow the Holy Spirit the freedom to bless us, dwell in us, inspire us, and help us at all times.

Prayer:

Come Holy Spirit.  Fill me with every gift and grace.  I open myself to You and ask You to dwell in me and move in my life with power and majesty.  I give You control.  Lead me, guide me, and strengthen me so that I can do Your will.  Amen.

God’s Grace

“My grace is sufficient for you, my power is made perfect in weakness.” (2 Corinthians 12:9)

Sometimes we try to live our lives outside grace.  We want peace and joy but find ourselves anxious and disturbed.  We struggle to find our way but everything is difficult for us.  We try to do all on our own without inviting God into our lives.  Life becomes a constant struggle as we place others and our work before God.Outside God’s grace we flounder.

If we only realized that when we are weakest God is strongest we would seek to be weak and small in His sight.  It is in our weakness that God moves in power and might.  It is precisely at our weakest moment that God is there to bless us with His love and mercy, to fill us with His grace.

God’s grace is truly all we need.  His grace directs and perfects us.  His grace leads us to His love and the fullness of His mercy.  God’s grace blesses us with the power of His Spirit.  God’s grace strengthens and fortifies us with courage.God’s grace fills us with every good gift.  His grace is all we need to have peace and joy.  May we live in God’s grace.

Prayer:

Dear Lord, I wish to walk always in Your grace.  Send Your Spirit upon me to remind me to place everything I attempt in Your hands.  Outside You I can do nothing, but in Your grace I am strong and able.  Help me to turn to You when I am weak so that Your strength may be manifest in me.  Amen.
