Spurgeon's Prayer: Rejoicing in the Holy Spirit’s Indwelling

Do you not know that you yourselves are God’s temple, and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?
— 1 Corinthians 3:16 (BSB)

Without the Spirit of God, we can do nothing. We are as ships without wind. We are useless.
— Charles Spurgeon

O Holy Spirit, this morning we come before You in humble adoration. How can You, the Holy One, reside within such unworthy vessels as ourselves? Yet You choose to make our bodies Your temple, and for that, we are in awe. Lord, we love You and thank You for dwelling within us, for making us alive when we were dead in our sins.

We marvel at Your work in our lives. You found us in enmity and reconciled us to God. You lifted us out of selfishness and worldliness, and You continue to sanctify us day by day, preparing us for our eternal inheritance. Holy Spirit, we honor You this morning, and we ask for Your strength to guide us in all we do today.

Lord, help us to walk in step with Your Spirit. Let our lives reflect the presence of the Holy Spirit, and may we honor You in all our thoughts, words, and actions. Fill us with Your power, that we may serve You faithfully and live in the freedom and joy of being Your children. Thank You for making us Your temple, and may we live in a way that glorifies Your name.
