Janelle:
We have been talking recently about employing the Holy Spirit. It says that he is an advocate for us, but if we don't employ him, we don't receive any help from him at all. My biggest problem is that I just don't remember to involve him in my day. When I get busy or focused, I rarely take the time to say, "Lord, direct me. Help me, show me what you want from me in this particular situation."
The Sad thing is, that instead of living my life with purpose, directed by the Lord, I get so comfortable just drifting from all the normal things I do. I take care of my family, I clean my house, I go to work, and I relax, completely failing to involve the Lord in my days.
But it doesn't have to stay that way. I also think, employing the holy spirit it about the burdens that we carry. Instead of feeling heavy under them and unable to help, we can give them to the Lord, who says he will carry our burdens and His burden is light, and have not only the help we need, but the wisdom to see which burdens are from him, and which are ones we take on ourselves.
