Luke 11

Lord Jesus, your word tells me to be ceaselessly in prayer and to be instant in prayer. You tell me to persist in prayer. You tell me to ask, and it will be given, and to seek, and I will find, and to knock, and it will be opened. Yet in many instances, I don’t seem to “get” what I “prayed” for.

But, I see in your word that the real gift, the real answered prayer, is the gift of God the Spirit who literally dwells in me. When I have your spirit dwelling in me and leading me, then I ask for the right things, and I get answers to the things I seek to know, and a way is open to me to get my character conformed to you, Lord Jesus.

So, Father, fill me today with your Holy Spirit, in the name of Jesus, and Holy Spirit, take charge of my life in every way. Today, the glory of Almighty God dwells in me, and tells me, and leads me, and converts me, and renews my mind.

My life in Christ is perfectly simple and unaffected by the confusion of the world.
