The Final Chapter

Hey ya'll

So we've done the bbq and we've done the movie night and we've done the taboo and also the cardmaking (which has yet to be completed) :D

Great job!!

As for the last chapter of this book, I think that as a person, I've learnt alot about prayer from a book as straightforward and simple as this. I hope you all have had the same experiences.

So finally, after tackling issues such as praying for each other, ourselves, children, unbelievers, help, big things, little things, together, spouses and just plain beginnings... how do we pray when we in fact can't pray or dont know how to??

Life can be overwhelming and ridiculously occupying at times, to the point that we just want to tuck ourselves and bed and wake up, hopefully, to a day that was the opposite of our current circumstantial states.

When we are up, praying is a joy and thanksgiving is so easy to do. Conversely, when we are down in the bunkers hiding and fighting to move just an inch without being shot, praying seems like an enormous chore.

But the Lord promises us His Holy Spirit to teach us, guide us, and most importantly pray on our behalf when we do not know how to pray.

Have you been in a situation where you could not pray and relied on the Holy Spirit to pray on your behalf?

What was that prayer like?

In retrospect and also on learning from this chapter, how much more are you going to rely on the Holy Spirit to intercede for you?
