From the book “Just Walk Across the Room” by Bill Hybels, he prayed this prayer each morning declaring
“My life is in Your hands, God. Use me to point someone- I promise to cooperate in any way I can. If you want me to say a word for You today, I’ll do that. If You want me to keep quiet but demonstrate love and servanthood, by Your Spirit’s power I will. I’m fully available to You today, so guide me by Your Spirit.”
Bill Hybels said “Sometimes, the end result of praying this prayer is that the Spirit allows me to have spiritual conversation that tells of a loving and a righteous God who created all things, who has a purpose in mind for all people, and who is actually hoping to relate with them as they walk through life. Other times, the Spirit simply prompts me to serve and love and listen to the needs of those who are far from God. The key is this: my objective is not to contrive ways to “get someone saved”; rather my objective is to walk when He prompts me to walk, talk when He prompts me to talk, fall silent when I’m at risk of saying too much, and stay put when He leads me to stay. If I can lay my head on the pillow at night knowing that I have cooperated with the promptings of the Spirit that day, I sleep like a baby.”
After reading this part of the book, I said to myself, I wanna pray that prayer each morning- it’s an awesome prayer. I wanna cooperate with the promptings of the Holy Spirit in my life. I tell you it works, and its amazing when we walk in step with the Spirit. For the past two nights, although it has been freezing n I’ve been sneezing, I’ve been sleeping with smile in my face and joy in my heart knowing that I’ve walk in step with the Spirit (Galatians 5:25 “Since we live by Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.”)
I encouraged you, pray this prayer, live and walk in step with the Spirit and see and experience where He leads You. It’s gonna be amazing, I repeat AMAZING (though most times it will not be easy, but it will be AMAZING).
