Romans 8: 26-30 (Wednesday, October 31, 2007)

Have you experienced moments you don’t just feel like praying? I sometimes do. I don’t feel like praying or sometimes I do not even know what to pray about. For some people that is a good enough excuse not to pray. When you don’t feel like praying or you don’t know what to pray about, it is when you should actually pray. That is actually when you give up the control and let the Holy Spirit who is the prayer warrior carry out his work. It is not uncommon that sometimes I go before Jesus and I tell him “Lord, I don’t feel like being here. I don’t even know why I should even pray. I am not sure of what I should pray about.” After this ranting, I continue to “waste” the rest of my prayer time with him. Usually I come out of the prayer time more fulfilled than even those times I really love to pray. Why? The reason is because prayer is not my work, but the work of the Holy Spirit in my life. It is the Holy Spirit that would help us to cultivate a relationship with Jesus.

Prayer:
Come Holy Spirit and fill the hearts of your faithful and enkindle in them the fire of they love.
