CALVARY WOMEN PRAYER

May 2024 Prayer Focus

It’s May! At the beginning of this often full and frenzied month, let’s commit to praying together that the Holy Spirit would be the One in control of our minds and hearts.

The Holy Spirit is the third person of the triune God and as a person—not a force or impersonal power—He possesses all the divine attributes. The Holy Spirit is co-equal with God the Father and God the Son, and though each is distinct, they cannot be separated. The Spirit had a distinct role in the work of creation and continues to have a distinct role in salvation, conviction, sanctification, as well as the inspiration and illumination of the Scriptures. The Spirit empowers the believer to work, serve, understand, discern, and obey. 

Our May/June CBC Prayer Focus (you’ll receive more details about in the coming days) is about the control and work of the Spirit. We’ll pray that the Spirit would soften our hearts to the things of God with Ezekiel 36:26-27 as the key Scripture to pray: “I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will remove your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. I will place my Spirit within you and cause you to follow my statutes and carefully observe my ordinances.” Our Tuesday morning classes studying covenants just studied these verses this week!

To deepen our understanding of the Spirit’s work and power in us to give us Christ’s righteousness and hearts like His, let’s also pray Romans 8:10-11 together. To remember that the SAME Spirit that raised Christ from the dead lives in us who believe. That our mortal bodies are dead because of sin, but alive because of the Spirit. That we can obey and walk in truth with that Spirit. And that we have a sure hope that one day our mortal bodies will be brought to full eternal life when Christ returns! Hallelujah!

I encourage you to use this image on your phone or computer to remind you to pray throughout the month. I am praying with you and for you!
