ONE OF THE MOST PAINFUL EMOTIONS IS LONELINESS.... OF COURSE, THERE ARE TIMES IN LIFE WHEN BEING ALONE IS UNAVOIDABLE. BUT SINCE GOD HAS SENT HIS SPIRIT TO LIVE WITHIN US, WE ARE NEVER TRULY ON OUR OWN.. THE HOLY SPIRIT WHOM JESUS REFERRED TO AS OUR HELPER". IS WITH US AND AVAILABLE EVERY SECOND OF EVERY DAY.. LETS THINK ABOUT WAYS THAT THE SPIRIT OF GOD HELP US IN OUR PRAYER LIFE. FIRST, HE BURDEN US TO PRAY. HAVE YOU EVER FELT A STRONG SENCE THAT YOU NEEDED TO SPEND TIME WITH THE LIRD ? PERHAPS YOU WEREN'T EVEN SURE WHY, THIS IS THE SPIRIT CONVICTING YOU. HE HAS MANY REASONS FOR DOING THIS. FOR INSTANCE, HE MAY KNOW THAT YOU NEED STRENGTH BECAUSE OF AN IMMINENT DIFFICULTY. OR HE SOMETIMES ENCOURAGE US TO CONFESS SIN SO THAT OUR FELLOWSHIP WITH THE FATHER IS NOT HINDERED...
