Ask the Spirit to guide you as you read God’s word for today. Remember to read the entire passage

Romans 8:26-27

“Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. “
Romans 8:26-27

Reread verse 27 what does this reveal about allowing the Spirit to guide our prayer time?
I often fill my prayer time with my request but what does this passage show you about being quiet before God?
This passage also shows us how well the Spirit knows our heart and how we can grow according to God’s will when we lay our heart before Him.
Sit and be quiet before God…what is He speaking into your heart today?

His Spirit is in you interceding before the Father. Seek Him…and be quiet before God! I will be praying for you!

Ask the Spirit to guide you as you read God’s word for today. Remember to read the entire passage

1Thessalonians 5:16-18

“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
1Thessalonians 5:16-18 NIV 1984

What words stand out to you in this passage?
Again, we see completeness…what does it men to you to be continually in prayer?
Working backwards, paraphrase God’s word from this passage.
It is God’s will…though it’s hard to imagine giving thanks in all circumstances, he works all things together for our good (Romans 8:28). Is there a difficult situation you need to thank God for? Lift it up to Him now.
We are told His joy is our strength (Nehemiah 8:10), which is very different than worldly happiness, but much more fulfilling. Ask the Lord to fill you with His joy so you may remain strong in HIM!

Always! Continually! All circumstances! It is God’s will!!!! I will be praying for you!

“So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God,
for whoever has entered God’s rest has also rested from his works as God did from his.
Let us therefore strive to enter that rest,so that no one may fall by the same sort of disobedience.”
Hebrews 4:9-11 ESV

Philippians 4:6-7

Here Paul tells us what we should be anxious about. Write it down.
Here he also explains what we should be anxious about. Write it down.
Do you see a completeness in those words?
when we offer up our fears to God what results?
We do not understand His peace, but we can be certain that it will guard what?
So, here I ask you…what do you choose…Your own fear and anxiety or God’s peace.?

Take your thoughts captive to Christ! His peace will be yours! I will be praying for you!

You are effective! Pray!
