Verse
Do not stifle the Holy Spirit.
— 1 Thessalonians 5:19 nlt
Thought
Have you ever been in the mood to kick up your heels, have some good ol' clean fun, and whoop and holler a little bit, but have found yourself in a formal situation where such behavior would not be tolerated? We feel stifled in such moments. Have you ever wondered how many times you've forced the Holy Spirit into a similar situation — stifling his efforts to encourage, empower, inspire, comfort, thrill, convict, motivate, sanctify, and enable you?
Prayer
Almighty God, forgive me for the times that I have stifled the influence of your Holy Spirit in worship, in my own life, and in the lives of others. Please fill, empower, convict, encourage, motivate, inspire, comfort, enable, and make me holy through the work of your personal presence, the Holy Spirit. In Jesus' name I ask this. Amen.
