Following the Holy Spirit With Confidence
Even the most intelligent people operate with limited knowledge. We don’t know what the future holds, and our desires may not fit God’s plan. That’s why prayer isn’t just talking to God — it’s an opportunity to align our heart with His. The Holy Spirit directs our prayers, impresses truth upon us regarding what we have asked, and ultimately opens our mind to God’s will. There are believers who give up on prayer because our human limitations prevent fully understanding how it works, but stepping away from communication with God means missing out on the Spirit’s remarkable work on our behalf. We never have to worry about praying the wrong thing. If we ask for something outside of God's will, the Spirit will intercede to ask for what is right. When God’s will is our true desire, we’ll find ourselves increasingly sensitive to the Holy Spirit’s guidance. He is our connection to the Father in prayer, and because He leads, we can always follow with confidence.
