Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God, which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words.   1 Corinthians 2:12-13 NASB

Thank you, Holy Spirit, for being with me and opening my heart and mind to your truth. I surrender to You today all the thoughts and questions that I am wrestling with. I ask that You help me to have the mind of Christ and see from your perspective. God, may we never boast in our own strength or in our own abilities. It is the cross of Jesus Christ that has made our lives possible – it is in His strength that we have found our own personal victories. Anything good we have is a gift coming down from You, Lord, out of Your heart of mercy through Christ crucified. We pray hope, we pray healing, we pray joy, we pray deliverance, we pray reconciliation, we pray love, we pray rejoicing, we pray salvation, we pray revival, we pray forgiveness in the name of Jesus Christ, amen!
