To Let The 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 all of my life—so I won’t find myself doing what my sinful nature desires to do.

Let my actions reflect my character—and let my character be an overflow of the love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control that I find in Christ.

Help me to be able to discern the difference between my own subjective feelings and the leading of Your Holy Spirit—as I commit to listen for, hear and willingly obey all of the instructions You give me through Your Word and Your Spirit.

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 all of my life—so I won’t find myself doing what my sinful nature desires to do.

In the name of Jesus, Amen.
