Day 10:
Praying in the Spirit
When we use God’s gifts to speak to Him, we’re able to pray about things we don’t yet comprehend with our own understanding.

Today’s Scripture

“Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.”

—Romans 8:26-27 (NKJV)

“But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.”
—Jude 20-21 (NIV)

“For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to people but to God. Indeed, no one understands them; they utter mysteries
by the Spirit.”
—1 Corinthians 14:2 (NIV)

Reflect on the Word

Most of life is spiritual, comprising things we can’t grasp with our physical senses and mysteries we can’t fathom with natural thinking. Good intentions and masterful plans don’t really make much progress against spiritual forces. That’s why we pray.

But when we don’t know what God wants to do in our situation, or when we can’t find words to adequately express what’s in our heart, how do we pray? Thankfully, we’re not left on our own to figure out what to pray. The Holy Spirit offers to lead us.

The Spirit knows what’s in God’s heart and exactly what He wants in our life. He directs our intercession accordingly, leading us to pray about spiritual mysteries and God’s will for our life. The Spirit may also put words on our lips to express sentiments that are beyond our understanding. Because God’s thoughts aren’t like ours, Spirit-led prayer words don’t make sense to our minds. Our “mother tongue” enables prayer for what we do understand, and our “other” tongue allows us to pray about what we don’t.

Prayer

1. The Lord knows the circumstances in your life right now, as well as what’s behind them. What is the benefit of praying in the Spirit?

2. What is something big you’ve been praying about using your own understanding? Would you consider praying about it with the Spirit (1 Cor. 14:15)?

3. Paul spoke in tongues more than his contemporaries did (1 Cor. 14:18). This week, will you take time to pray in the Spirit more than you usually do?

Day 4: Praise and thanksgiving
Let’s consider the myriad things in our lives for which we should be thankful to the Lord.

Today’s Scripture

“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Do not quench the Spirit.”

—1 Thessalonians 5:16-19 (NKJV)

“And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, submitting to one another in the fear of God.”

—Ephesians 5:18-21 (NKJV)

Reflect on the Word

Not everything in the Bible is easy to understand, but there are passages of Scripture that are quite clear. The passage in 1 Thessalonians says we must:

1. Rejoice always. Start by identifying some of the thieves of your joy, such as guilt, grief, grudges and grumbling. Decide to approach life from an opposite spirit. Choose joy instead.

2. Pray continually. Prayer doesn’t have to be flashy. As a matter of fact, it’s best if it isn’t. Just talk to God, and let Him talk to you. In your relationship with the Lord, make sure to listen as much, if not more, than you speak.

3. Give thanks. The apostle Paul begins 10 of his 13 New Testament epistles with some expression of gratitude. His prayers and letters were peppered with thanks, despite the ongoing challenges he faced. One could say Paul’s letters are “thank full!” We are invited to be the same, by giving thanks for all things (Eph. 5:20).

Pray for your family today.

Day 2:
Made alive in Christ
How does Jesus’ resurrection manifest in our own lives, and how can we allow ourselves to be transformed by it?

Today’s Scripture
“You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you … And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of His Spirit who lives in you.”

—Romans 8:9,11 (NIV)

“The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”

—John 10:10 (NKJV)

—Galatians 2:20 (NIV)

Prayer + Contemplation
1. Reflect on the incredible truth that the same Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead now lives in you, giving you new life and purpose in Christ.
2. Ask the Holy Spirit to guide you to live fully and abundantly in Christ, to give you a deeper understanding of this resurrection power in your daily life.
3.Lift up those in your life who feel spiritually dead or disconnected, praying that they may experience the life-giving presence of the Holy Spirit and be made alive in Christ.
