His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.

For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But whoever does not have them is nearsighted and blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their past sins.

Therefore, my brothers and sisters, make every effort to confirm your calling and election. For if you do these things, you will never stumble, and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 2 Peter 1:3-11

Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. Romans 8:26-28

 ***Intercede- to intervene on behalf of another, advocate, act as a mediator

Isn’t it good to know that The Holy Spirit wants what is best for us and is willing to advocate for us? He not only wants what’s best for us, He knows the will of the Father. What have you been praying about? Maybe it’s time to let The Holy Spirit intervene on your behalf. We can rest easy knowing “all things work together for the good” even when we aren’t even sure how to pray.

Trust in the Lord, and do good;
Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.
Delight yourself also in the Lord,
And He shall give you the desires of your heart.

Commit your way to the Lord,
Trust also in Him,
And He shall bring it to pass.
He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light,
And your justice as the noonday.

Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him;

Psalm 37:3-7a

***Trust, Dwell, Delight, Commit, Rest, Wait (Patiently)***

AND

***He shall***

When You said, “Seek My face,” My heart said to You, “Your face, Lord, I will seek.”  Psalm 27:8

May everything we do today begin with seeking you. May we seek you as if nothing else matters. On many occasions in your word, You say when we seek you, you will be found. Thank you for being in the details. May every detail of this day begin and end with seeking you.
