Every day offers a new opportunity to welcome the Holy Spirit into your life. Each morning when you wake ask the Spirit to be with you throughout your day. “Come Holy Spirit, and fill me with your peace and courage. Help me to stay close to Jesus so that I won’t give into temptation. Give me the courage to share your love with the people around me.” Every night before going to sleep take a few moments to review the day. Look for times when you felt bad about yourself but then let the Spirit console you. Look for times when you were about to lose your temper, but you felt His peace instead. Look for the times you felt a sense of God’s love as if it came out of nowhere. Look for times when you were tempted to snap at someone, but you held your tongue or offered a kind word instead. All of these are signs of the Spirit at work in you. Keep inviting the Spirit into your day each morning and keep looking for signs of His help in the evening. If you do this you will find yourself turning to the Spirit during the day asking for His help and receiving it. Jesus promised you the Holy Spirit and He is always faithful to His promises.
