Suppose....

"Suppose another time you are making a big decision in your life, and you need help. You have options before you, and you need guidance to decide which way is best. So you ask God for help. But He doesn't answer with guidance. Instead He answers by sending the Holy Spirit, who is our Guide. God sends the Helper, who will live in you and not only tell you what decision to make but also enable you to make that decision.

Yet another time you need discernment, and God gives you the Spirit of wisdom. At other times you need strength, and God gives you the Spirit of power. Still other times you ask God for love, joy, peace, patients, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, or self-control, and He gives you the Spirit, who makes all these things a reality in your life."

~Radical by David Platt

Heavenly Father,

Send your Holy Spirit; the Guide. You have promised to lead the blind... and You have promised to say "this is the way, walk in it..." You have promised wisdom and strength. Fulfill your promises; direct me and give me strength to obey. Holy Spirit, You are welcome. I need You.

Psalm 78:4, 12-14

"We will not hide them from their children; we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, His power, and the wonders He has done."

"He did miracles in the sight of their fathers in the land of Egypt, in the region of Zoan. He divided the sea and led them through; He made the water stand firm like a wall. He guided them with the cloud by day and with light from the fire all night."

"Lord, as we wake from another night's slumber, we are reminded that Your dreams are given to us and not merely conjured up by our imaginations. Help us understand both that Your dreams come at a price and that their rewards are immeasurable." (commonprayer.net Jan. 15th 2012)
