Heavenly Father, I come in Jesus’ Name to thank You that I have all that You are dwelling inside of me through the work of the Holy Spirit. You arranged for me to live in and with the Holy Spirit at the time of my salvation, and because of that I can walk in the Spirit in all aspects of my life. Your Bible tells me that receiving the Holy Spirit is a onetime event at salvation, but being filled with and walking in the Spirit to oppose the flesh is a lifelong process. Galatians 5:25 “If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.”

Your Word makes it clear that I can only walk in the Spirit and have a God-consciousness in everything I do by letting Your Holy Spirit take Your Word and truth and apply it to me.  In addition, I must be obedient to what He tells me to do and walk in the light so that I do not stumble in this evil world. Psalm 119:105 “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” Since Your Spirit ignites the knowledge of Your Bible, direct me to read it and invite Him to use it to transform my life for what You have for me. Encourage me to spend regular time with You in prayer while reading Your Bible so that You can put in my mind all that You have for me for that day. 

Probably the most important is that You direct me to be obedient to what is expressed in James 1:22. “But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.” Show me through my behavior and attitude how I am doing with living according to the nature of Christ and the fruit of the Spirit found in Galatians 5:22-23a. “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.“

Teach me Your ways and give me understanding. Thank you for the blessing of having the Holy Spirit empower me to control and overcome the many evil desires of my flesh. I praise You in Jesus’ Name, Amen.

P.S. These prayers will only work if you have a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. If you need help understanding God’s plan of salvation for you (the way to Heaven), go to this page on our site: https://timewithourcreator.com/2016/06/02/salvation/

Prayer of Praise About the Work of the Holy Spirit in the Life of a Born Again Believer in Jesus Christ

Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ Name, thank you for the work of the Holy Spirit in my Christian life. It is a great blessing to know from Your Word (The Bible) that the Holy Spirit is living within me and not somewhere in space. 1 Corinthians 3:16 “Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?“

Thank you that You express in a number of places in Your Word that if I ask and allow it, You will have the Holy Spirit be my comforter and helper in all situations in this life. He will speak words of comfort and still ​my anxiousness. He never makes a mistake and always gives the wisest council. In John 14:16, Jesus said: “And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever.“

In this day of so much false teaching and fake news, thank you that I can trust in the work of the Holy Spirit to be true. He will not speak on His own initiative but will guide in the truth about Jesus Christ. All that is written down in the Bible and that I am blessed to read came from Him through the authors of the Scriptures. John 16:13-14 “However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you.“

In light of all of the above, I ask that You direct me not to live by instinctive actions, but by being obedient to Your instruction in Your Word. It is my desire not to do Ephesians 4:30. “And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.“

In Jesus’ Name, knowing that in my life will encounter many things I cannot handle, I give myself to You and ask You to fill and control me with the Holy Spirit. Ephesians 5:18b “But be filled with the Spirit.” Amen.
