Today’s Prayer (02/23/2021)

Oh Lord, I pray that we will all learn to be led by the Holy Spirit and not our own flesh. Keep our eyes fixed upon You, God, that we may walk in Your abundant light and not in darkness. It is not my desire to do things that go against Your will, but to be led by Your hand in every which way in my life. Therefore, do whatever You need to in my life and every believer’s life also, while removing anything that is keeping us from following You completely. Every bad habit and addiction we give it all to you, Jesus. Show us what is causing us to sin against You, that we may not fall back in those sinful ways again. I do not wish to quench the Holy Spirit and I know that my dear brothers and sisters in the faith do not wish to also. Sometimes we do things not knowing we are causing any harm to our stance with You, God. So bring things to our recollection, that we may not continue doing things that seem good on the outside, but are filthy on the inside. Yes, God, I ask that You lead me by the hand. As I pray earnestly now, open my eyes to what needs to happen next. Help me to know who I need to speak to, in order to share Your gospel truths with them. My time is Yours, so keep me inline with Your laws and statutes for my life. Your Word, the Bible, is a lamp unto my feet, so lead me as I read and study it daily. May Your words be imprinted on my heart at all times. Then, will I know Your counsel for my life and not be led astray. I love You, Jesus. I will follow You. Amen.

Acts 21:1-6

Acts 21:1-6 (KJV)
1 And it came to pass, that after we were gotten from them, and had launched, we came with a straight course unto Coos, and the day following unto Rhodes, and from thence unto Patara:
2 And finding a ship sailing over unto Phenicia, we went aboard, and set forth.
3 Now when we had discovered Cyprus, we left it on the left hand, and sailed into Syria, and landed at Tyre: for there the ship was to unlade her burden.
4 And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: who said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.
5 And when we had accomplished those days, we departed and went our way; and they all brought us on our way, with wives and children, till we were out of the city: and we kneeled down on the shore, and prayed.
6 And when we had taken our leave one of another, we took ship; and they returned home again.

To Be Led By The Holy Spirit

Be led by the Holy Spirit and not the ways of the flesh. Doing God’s will is always better than doing what we think is right.
