Come, Holy Spirit! Prepare my heart to hear You. Soften the edges of my heart the world has calloused and let me hear Your voice calling above the rest. Quiet the static of the world around me and let me hear Your counsel. Help me to listen and obey, to trust in Your prompting, and to allow You to bring me closer to God’s better future for my life. For surely You are the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord. Amen
The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him – the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of might, the Spirit of knowledge and fear of the Lord. ~Isaiah 11:2 (NIV)

It’s so important to ask for the Holy Spirit to be with us when we study God’s word and when we seek to write. Not only does he guide and direct our thoughts, but he comforts us as well.

I pray that the Lord’s Spirit does rest on all of us and that those who need Jesus can see it. Thanks for encouraging us to cooperate with the Spirit and for linking up to Testimony Tuesday!
