fail to use enough, and that's real communication with God Himself and the Holy Spirit.

I pray your ears would be open to hear the loving voice of your Creator today as we

discover together what it means to pray with the Holy Spirit.

But you, beloved,

building yourselves up in your most holy faiths and praying in the Holy Spirit,

keep yourselves in the love of God,

waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life, Jude

1, 20, and 21.

God loves to respond to the prayers of His people.

We see Him respond to the desire of Adam for a helpmate with Eve, the prayer of Abraham and saving Lot and his family,

the prayer of Moses in salvation of his people, the prayer of Elijah and sending down fire upon an

altar, and the cry for his Savior and sending his only son, Jesus.

keep yourselves in the love of God,
