Holy Spirit, Guide My Life



So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves.



—Galatians 5:16 (NLT)



Heavenly Father,



Grant me the wisdom to allow Your Holy Spirit to guide my life—and keep me from doing what my sinful nature desires to do.



Let the outflow of my character in action reflect the love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control that I find in Christ—as evidence of my submission to Your Spirit’s promptings.



Help me to discern the difference between my own subjective feelings and the leading of Your Holy Spirit—as I commit to listen for, hear and obey only the voice of Your Spirit and follow the instructions of Your Word



Strengthen me to continue to live every moment of my life under the guidance and control of Your Spirit—allowing the words of Christ to fill my thoughts, to determine my actions, and to be the power within me that keeps control of my selfish and sinful desires.



Grant me the wisdom to allow Your Holy Spirit to guide my life—and keep me from doing what my sinful nature desires to do.



In the name of Jesus, Amen.
