25/01/2024: Christian WATCH Exposition. Topic: Relax and align yourself
Text:
```Romans 8:26-27 NKJV
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.```
COMMENTARY
Uncommon prayers and intercession is achieved with a relaxed mind rather than a troubled heart and soared mind. Apostle Paul admonished the Philippians Church to be anxious about nothing but through prayer and supplication, they should make their request known to God. Someone who is tendering a request does it with a relaxed mind. Prayer is not argument, prayer is not complain or comparison. While we pray, we should be careful not to mix up our prayers with complain and comparisons.
Prayer is a Physical activity but has much connection to the unseen and invisible God. God being a Spirit wishes us to relate with Him as a Spirit. Even When Jesus said man shall not live by bread alone, He was actually referring to spiritual food, the word of God. Here the spirit of God helps our weaknesses to bring us hither to the height of relationship with God. Somehow man has fallen below God's relationship but through grace we received forgiveness through Jesus and consequently help through the ministry of Holy Spirit.
This same Holy Spirit helps us a lot in place of prayers. It is just like a litigant having a case in court but doesn't know how to compose himself. The litigant will need assistance of a lawyer who would put all his prayers into writing and files them to the judge. What the Holy Spirit does is a work of a Counsel. Both in the time of prayers and in times of taking decisions.
Food for thought:
Prayer is a spiritual activity, alignment is required for its effectiveness._
Prayer:
```Holy Spirit guide me to achieve the best out of my prayers in Jesus name.```
