“And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words. And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God’s own will. And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. And having chosen them, he called them to come to him. And having called them, he gave them right standing with himself. And having given them right standing, he gave them his glory.”
—Romans 8:26-30 (NLT)
Friend, God chose you and called you! He has given you right-standing with Him. You're forgiven and washed clean by the blood of Jesus:
“But if we are living in the light, as God is in the light, then we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.” —1 John 1:7 (NLT)
When you don't know what God wants you to pray for, the Holy Spirit helps you. The Holy Spirit pleads for you when you need Him to. The Holy Spirit is there for you at all times! (Jn 14:16, 16:7)
God has given you His glory! And He is working all things for your good. Yes, some days may not be good, because there is an enemy working against you. But God is working FOR YOU and He can do the impossible. In Jesus' strength and name, you can do anything God calls you to do (Phil 4:13). The devil just doesn't want you to believe that. That's why you need to grab hold of your Bible and throw those Bible verses at the devil like the Spiritual weapons they are.
When He was tested in the wilderness, Jesus' defence was the Word of God, and it's your defence too. When you don't know what to say or do, ask for help. The Helper is there to help you. Whatever you need, ask for it in prayer and believe that you will receive it (Matt 7:7, Mark 11:24).
Friend, you're chosen, loved, special, wanted. All the help you need to get through your life's journey is available for free. Precious Child of God, all you need do is ask. Amen! 🙌
PRAYER: Thank You, Heavenly Father for our Helper, the wonderful Holy Spirit. By ourselves, we can do nothing (Jn 15:5). But with You, Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus and by Your Spirit, we can do anything we are called to do (Phil 4:13) Lord, help us to remember to ask for help, rather than try to do things in our own wisdom and strength; because we need YOU! In Jesus' name, Amen. 🙏
