God\u2019s Spirit fills you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embracing God\u2019s Spirit strengthens our lives.  We\u2019re no longer alone in the battle of good and evil.  God\u2019s Spirit is our constant companion, providing us with what we need. When we submit to Him, He gives us power, love, and good judgment.  However, tuning into the promptings given by the Spirit is mandatory.  We can ignore them entirely if we\u2019re not careful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part of making time for God in your daily life is to tune into His promptings.  When we spend time reading His word, it helps reframe our thinking.  Instead of focusing on the worldly events around us, our minds tune into God\u2019s work.  One prayer I\u2019ve recently started praying came from my pastor.  Each morning, I make this request:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGod, show me what You are doing today and how I can be a part of it.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What this simple prayer does is tune me into God.  As I walk through my days, God\u2019s Spirit helps me see what He is doing, then join in with Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Work with God.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of working against God, work with Him. Allow His Spirit to lead you.  When you see the young mom struggling to get her stroller through the door, open it for her.  When a friend is grieving, grieve with them.  When people rejoice, rejoice as well.  Show up for the people God places in your life, whether family, friend, or stranger.   God is working in their lives, and You are His messenger.  Through You, with His Spirit, God\u2019s power, love, and sound judgment become a reality as you join Him in His work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Allow God\u2019s Spirit to fill your life.\u00a0 Receive His power, love, and good judgment.\u00a0 Then share what He gives you with others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lord, You are our strength.  Your Spirit guides and directs us when we tune into You.  Forgive us for all the times we ignore the promptings instead of following our desires.  Help us today see what You are doing and how we can participate.  Give us action steps we can take, knowing You\u2019ve already given us the power, love, and sound judgment we need to complete whatever the task.  In You, we find life to the fullest.  IJNIP. Amen<\/p>\n\n\n\n
