When we don't know how to pray, or what to do, or how to proceed, there is
Someone just waiting to help us. He is ready to be called upon every moment of
every day. What problems we cause for ourselves because we don't avail ourselves
of His help. The Holy Spirit is our Helper in
every situation. He gives us boldness and power with God. He gives us access
into the very presence of the Father. He prays for us with groans and sighs that
words cannot express. He makes loving intercession in us for all the saints. It
is our highest privilege as priests to be intercessors. How amazing that our
prayers can move Almighty God! we can pray for people thousands of miles away;
people we have never met, and God hears our hearts and answers our petitions.
Ask for the Holy Spirit to help. He teaches us how to
pray. He reminds us of the things that God has told us, so that we
can use them in our intercessions. We cannot pray without Him. He can go where
we cannot go, do what we cannot do, attend to the very root of a situation, all
because we ask! Don't be put off just because you cannot see the answers to your
petitions. One day you will see, and marvel at all God has accomplished through
your prayers. And you may think "I wish I had prayed more". All the time you
pray, you are developing a relationship with your heavenly Father and
discovering that He cares about you and your concerns. And discovering that He
can only change things through your prayers.
'But the Counsellor, the Holy
Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will
remind you of everything I have said to you' Jn 14:26
'Be Still'
'Be Still And Know That He is God'
Symbolism: The Dove is the Holy Spirit. The shadow of wings is the covering of His love. The seat is a place waiting for you to occupy it. The Lily in the pool is the purity of Jesus.The trees are the 'Mighty One's' who watch over you.
YOU ARE INVITED TO ENTER IN!
There is a place, a tranquil, still place right in God's heart. He invites you to come and sit awhile and meditate, listening for His still small voice. Over you are the wings of God, shadowing and covering your life as you sit on the seat prepared for you. The world around is full of trauma and confusion, but in the midst of it all you can find Him and gaze awhile on His beauty and experience His peace.
