While I was preparing to write this prologue, I found myself walking on a trail in the woods near my home. I had my headphones connected to my iPhone and was listening to music. All of a sudden the music of the Wood Brothers caught my attention. The song was “Never can pray enough.” Isn’t it amazing how we get answers to our questions when we open ourselves to the “Helper” (the Holy Spirit; our counselor, our comforter). John 14:26 says, “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name. He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.”
You may recall that we recently offered a CD of Catherine Marshall sharing her thoughts about “The Helper.” She went on to write a book on this topic which is one of 30 books that Catherine wrote while she was with us. In her opening remarks on the CD, she talks about being open to receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Sometimes I think we want to do things completely on our own. But wouldn’t it be much better to always be open to the leading of the Holy Spirit? Matthew 7:7 says, “Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you.”
So here is where my two thoughts converge. We can “never pray enough” and we should always be “open to the leading of the Holy Spirit.” These two principles of our faith will never fail us as we believe that God loves us and wants to communicate with us all the time!
We have recently been blessed with financial gifts in spite of the ups and downs of the world’s economy. Even though we are concerned about how we will meet our budget needs each month, we remain committed to our mission: to connect those who are willing to pray with those in need of prayer.
May God bless you as you communicate with God to meet your own needs and the needs of others. Please contribute to the Breakthrough ministry as you are able.
