Let’s read the following Scripture out loud:
Romans 10:11-13 NTFE
11 The Bible says, you see, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.” 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, since the same Lord is Lord of all, and is rich towards all who call upon him. 13 “All who call upon the name of the Lord,” you see, “will be saved.”
Galatians 4:6 NIV
Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba, Father.”
“For our mind cannot pray unless the Spirit prays first, as it were within earshot, just as it cannot sing out with rhythm and melody and tempo and harmony, hymning the Father in Christ, unless the Spirit, which searches all things, even the depths of God, first gives praise and hymns him whose depths he has searched out and, as he is able, comprehended.” (Origen of Alexandria, On Prayer)
Today, let’s be deeply encouraged that our ability to cry out to our Heavenly Father is possible because the Spirit is first calling out, ‘Abba, Father’ from within us. Our every cry is accompanied by the Spirit’s work and power in us. So let’s depend on the Spirit as we ask our Father for his help. Let’s also pray in this way for all attending SET Free this Saturday.
Prayer: Father, thank you for richly blessing me with your very presence. I trust and depend on your Spirit as I cry out to you today. In Jesus’ name, amen.
