Praying in the Spirit

Are you praying with full reliance on God's power when you pray?  A verse from Ephesians popped out at me as I was reading through this letter.  Here is where the apostle Paul wrote:  "Pray at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication." Eph. 6:18

When Paul wrote about praying in the Spirit, I believe he means that we are not to take lightly this activity of prayer.  We are not to pray as if prayer is some type of magical incantation.  Praying in the Spirit means that we take seriously our activity of prayer.  We believe that when we make a request, our prayers will ascend to the throne of God and that we will be given every consideration by God in what we have said.

When you pray, do you feel that you are praying in a way where there is a sense of majesty and power through your very words?  Do you pray as if you are connecting directly to the greatest force in the world? Praying in the Spirit will make all the difference.
