I was listening to a sermon recently. The preacher was saying that there are a bunch of books on prayer... "How to pray fervently", "How to increase your prayer time", "Praying at all times."
Honestly, I own books like these. Trying to search for a better strategy to pray. "Maybe when I read this book, I'll definitely be praying more often."
Yet, the preacher said, there is only One teacher. The Holy Spirit is the One who can teach you how to pray. No book, no 5-steps-to-success pamphlet, no one can teach you how to pray better than the Holy Spirit.
"He is your teacher."
How easy has the Lord laid it out for us? Yet, I tend to complicate things... tangle them up; only for Him, His grace and love to swoop down and untangle my mess one time and again.
