“If you love me, obey my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, who will never leave you. He is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth.”—John 14:15-17a (NLT)
Lord of my life,
Let me never fail to demonstrate my love for You, through my willing obedience to Your commandments, as I look to the Holy Spirit within me to guide me into all Truth.
May my love for You be so much more than just words that I push carelessly across my lips without thinking. Rather let my words be a reflection of my love for You—a love which permeates everything that I think, say and do.
Help me to look to the Advocate the Father has given—the Holy Spirit—to be my Comforter when I am hurting, my Encourager when I am discouraged, my Counselor when I need guidance, my Helper when the work gets hard, my Strengthener when I need to take a stand, my Friend when I need to know I am never alone, and my Teacher when I need to hear and know the Truth.
Keep me sensitive to the promptings of Your Spirit—who lives within me, and never leaves me—so that I might not miss anything good thing that You have for me along my journey to know You more deeply, and more personally.
Let me never fail to demonstrate my love for You, through my willing obedience to Your commandments, as I look to the Holy Spirit within me to guide me into all Truth.
In Your most Precious and Holy Name, Lord Jesus. Amen.
