Led By His Spirit

 
Romans 8:14 "because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God."
 
Sometimes, when I read a Bible verse, I feel like a kid in a candy store and I think, "OOOOOO!!!  I WANT that!!!"  Wouldn't it be great if we could be filled with His Spirit all the time?  If we could be led by His Spirit in all of our decisions?  If we could always feel like we truly are His children?  I really do want that!  I know it is a long road ahead and it may be filled with bumps or fumbles but isn't it worth it for that kind of relationship with God?  I think before we can be led by His Spirit we need to quiet our hearts and minds until they are totally still so that we can hear His voice.  If we are then led by His Spirit imagine how well we can begin to feel His presence.  And if we are led by His Spirit and filled with His presence then imagine how many fewer regrets we will have along our path in life...and how much more of a "given" it will be for that path to be His path for our lives.  Oh yes, I definitely want that!  Are you in?  Let's Pray:
 
Heavenly Father,
Thank You for Your Spirit and the chance to be led by You.  Thank You for guiding us to the right path via Your precious Words in the Bible.  Please help us to be still and listen for Your voice so that we may be entirely led by Your Spirit and truly be called Your sons and daughters.  Lord we ask that You please continue to grant Your holy and supernatural guidance to our clergy, leading them so they may rightly lead us.  Please keep our troops and service men & women in Your extraordinary favor and protection, delivering them from harm as they stand up to protect us.  God we also ask that You please grant Your miraculous healing to all our friends and family who may be in need, especially Summer, Sharon, Melissa, Morgan, Phyllis, Carolyn, Randy, Emily, Brenda, Sheila,Mr & Mrs Jones, Darlene and Brandy's Mom.  Grant them not only Your divine and gracious healing hand but also Your presence, wrapping them each in a Spiritual hug of comfort and peace.  Finally, we lift up to You Mike, Deanna and Lauren and ask that You please grant Mike & Deanna peace and hope as they await Lauren's birth and also please grant Lauren a safe arrival and a healthy, long life devoted to You.  We ask all these things may be done according to Your will and in Jesus name.  Amen.
 
Have a blessed week ahead!!!
Love through Christ,
Niki
