The Work of the Holy Spirit (Cont'd)
The Spirit and Prayer
We have already seen where Jesus prayed in (or by) the Holy Spirit when He rejoiced in the Father's selective revelation (Lk. 10:21f.) and that same privilege is afforded all believers, in fact is it commanded of us (Jude 20; Eph. 6:18). We are told to pray "in the Holy Spirit." The Spirit intercedes for us when we pray and helps us when we are weak and do not know how to pray according to God's will (Rom. 8: 26, 27).
I wonder how often Christians actually understand praying in the Holy Spirit and consciously strive to do it. How much richness in (even answers to) our prayers are we missing?
