11-25-14 Good Tuesday Morning F B Family And Friends, Welcome To Morning Devotions.. Proverbs 14:12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of Death.. OUR HELPER IN PRAYER Romans 8:26-27 Christians need the Holy Spirits help in prayer. At times in our journey of faith, well find that we cannot... -Find the right words -Discern -Recognizes what He is doing, or -Grasp the complexity of the situation. Periods of struggle in prayer are normal for believers. Few of us are as eloquent as the psalmnist David-especially when we are confused, distressed, or weary. So Lets look at two Biblical examples of prayer in challenging situations. First, notice that in todays reading, the Apostle Paul admits to feeling weak in His prayer life. His well-known request was for God to remove a Thorn in the flesh ( 2 Cor. 12:7). Paul pleaded desperately-and probably with great effort-for relief. With the Spirits help, He came to understand the Lords call to endure in spite of pain. A second example is Jesus Christs agonized prayer the night before His crucifixion. Although He was committed to doing His fathers will, He dreaded the immeasurable spiritual suffering that lay ahead. Crying out to God from Gethsemane, the Savior uttered this urgent sentance: My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me, nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt (Matt. 26:39). God knew wed need help in prayer. With our limited human perspective, we cannot know all aspects of the situations facing us. But the Holy Spirit understands our needs and burdens-as well as the big picture. He carries our requests to God even when we cant adequately express them. Amen, Thank God that we have Jesus to make intercession for us to the father, and I totally relate to this, there has been times I just couldnt seem to get out any prayer. Thank God For being so understanding. Please be safe as the Thanksgiving Holiday Approaches Remember to give God thanks for all you have and for family and each other. God Bless and thanks for reading....
