Reaching in to God

Prayer is conversation with God and it should come easy for us Christians. In the old testament times, one had to make a pilgrimage to the temple to talk to God, to make requests known to God and to worship Him. Today, we are so privileged to have the Holy Spirit reside in us if we are believers. Is it not amazing that the God who dwelt in the ark of the covenant and could not be touched by us unholy people, actually now lives in us?! That's just mind blowing!!
And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession—to the praise of his glory.
Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God?
And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.
In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express
Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
May my prayer be set before you like incense..

Ephesians 1:13,14
I Corinthians 6:19

God's presence is continually with us! He is so close to us! It is upto us to make Him the centre of our lives. We need to reach in and commune with the Holy Spirit and make God a part of everything we do. When we involve God in our everyday life - from our waking up moments, in our work, play, relationships, everyday chores - life becomes exciting! We just need to be conscious that the Third Person of the Godhead, the Holy Spirit is within us and we can continually reach out to the Holy Spirit in prayer for strength, comfort, wisdom and help in time of our need!
Ephesians 6:18
Romans 8:26
I Thessalonians 5:16-18

What more - The Holy Spirit that is within us is powerful as He is God! He raised Christ from the dead! When we have such access to the Holy Spirit, our lives cannot be dull and boring but full of passion and power no matter what circumstances we are in. We need to invite the Holy Spirit

Ephesians 1: 18 - 21

I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.

Do you feel that you are going through life alone? Do you wish you had help in time of need?  Does your life dull and powerless? The Holy Spirit, God himself dwells richly in you and wants to be your help and comfort and empower you supernaturally in everything you do... There is no one better to come to our aid than God Himself, the supreme being and creator of the universe! Let's be encouraged to tap in through prayer and reach out to the Holy Spirit in everything we do for this is pleasing to God!
Psalm 141:2a
