Helping Hand Not Pointing Fingers

“… praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit …” —Ephesians 6:18

What I learned from today’s devotion is about the fragility of intercessory prayer. God has instilled in me that I could get in the way when God is lifting up somebody if let’s say I talk to that person with a pointing finger type of attitude. God’s connection will be blocked because I make them feel bad and instead of looking to God, they end up looking at themselves with sadness and shame.

When I feel like I should intercede, I ought to focus more on just interceding in prayer and encouragement rather than realization for God will speak to them directly at that realm and let their maturity inform them of things that they’re doing that is not of God.

“We do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered” —Romans 8:26

Honestly, I never knew about this until today. I never knew that even the Holy Spirit intercedes for me… to pray for the things I unconsciously need. I actually wonder what the Holy Spirit prays for every time I pray.

I also learned that it is important that I should completely open my heart when it comes to praying to God so that His Holy Spirit can fully understand my whole being.

Prayer is definitely a powerful thing… so powerful that even the Holy Spirit prays things that I myself cannot utter.

I pray that there will never come a day where I pray alone.
