So to be a true child of the Father we are to Abide in Him. Eph. 6:18Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.
That is a pretty strong word.. at all times.. in every circumstance.. in good times and bad.
On Friday we thought about ways to pray to the Father and the Son , according to their names!
The Holy Spirit
.. the above verse says pray in the spirit.. One source explains it this way.. and I believe it is a great explanation!
"The Greek word translated “pray in” can have several different meanings. It can mean “by means of,” “with the help of,” “in the sphere of,” and “in connection to.” Praying in the Spirit does not refer to the words we are saying. Rather, it refers to how we are praying. Praying in the Spirit is praying according to the Spirit’s leading. It is praying for things the Spirit leads us to pray for. Romans 8:26 tells us, “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 with groans that words cannot express.”
I will add here that we can address the Holy Spirit at times as he offers certain gifts that we need through the course of the day!!
Found in Galatians 5
Love peace forbearance kindness goodness
Joy faithfulness gentleness self-control
When you are feeling out of sorts in these areas and it does happen... cry out to the Holy Spirit to help you to give you peace, or joy, etc.. and He is faithful!!! He will remind you that Jesus is the Prince of Peace.
Very, very recommended!
