Be fearless,
live fearlessly, and pray fearlessly. Let God's Spirit guide and direct your
words to bring about His good and perfect will. It's not always about what you
want or think is best, but it's always about Him. If Jesus deferred to the will
of the Father, don't you think you should, too?
June's Message, Day 29:
And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds
of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying
for all the Lord’s people. Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may
be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, for
which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I
should. Ephesians 6:18-20 NIV
To be most
effective, we need to pray according to God's will and ways. The trouble,
however, is that we oftentimes are not quite certain what God's will precisely
is for any given situation. We as humans, are very short-sighted and see things
only from our limited and imperfect human perspective, not God's perfect and
all-knowing perspective. That's one reason why we have the Holy Spirit within
us - to help us and guide us in our prayers and petitions. Sometimes we just
need to let God's Spirit take the reins and guide the words of our prayers. It
may seem a bit odd sometimes, but the Holy Spirit always knows how to pray and
intercede, and the spoken word has great power, whether we understand it all or
not. Be guided by the Spirit in your prayer and in all things, and like Paul,
you can become fearless in prayer, fearless in your testimony, fearless in
proclaiming the Gospel, and living a fearless life. When guided and living by
His Spirit, there is no fear, just great strength and effectiveness.
