Prayer
How to Pray When You Have No Words
Romans 8:26 assumes there will be days when prayer collapses into groaning. Here is what to do on those days.
Prayer and walking with God
Holy Spirit
Loading John 14:26…
Jesus does not describe the Spirit as an influence but as He, a Person sent by the Father. The work named here is teaching and reminding, which ties the Spirit tightly to the words of Christ. A Spirit-led life is therefore never a life that has moved beyond Scripture.
A prayer from this passage
Father, thank You for sending the Comforter. Holy Spirit, teach me, remind me of what Christ has said, and produce in me what I cannot manufacture. Make me sensitive to You and unwilling to grieve You.
Key truth
The Holy Spirit is God Himself present with His people, teaching them Christ and forming Christ in them.
