RHIM Daily Devotional 2 June 2021 – Holy Spirit Our Comforter [II]

John 14:16, And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you forever. Jesus promised His disciples that He would not leave them alone, there will be another person to comfort them. You are not alone, the Holy Spirit is always there for you.

The Spirit is also an Advocate and an Encourager. The Holy Spirit is the representative of the Son Jesus Christ, even as the Son was the representative of God the Father. The Holy Spirit is always with us and is our constant companion to guide, help, and empower every believer for the tasks ahead.

When we pray to Him, we do not see Him or hear Him, that doesn’t mean He is not hearing us or seeing what we are going through. It is through the Holy Spirit We see God, not with our physical eyes, but with the eyes of faith.

It is by praying to God and studying the word of God on a daily basis that we strengthen our faith and also we are able to withstand and resist Satan, doubt or defeat when we pray and study the word of God. To do this we must remain focused on Jesus Christ and depend on the Holy Spirit. Without the help of the Holy Spirit, we cannot do anything.

There are times that We may have to wait for an answer to our prayers for a long time. A lot of people get discouraged when prayers are not answered on time. They may be tempted to doubt whether their prayers have been heard, whether God cares or knows what they are going through or whether He still intervenes in situations.

Beloved, God knows what you are going through, He can see you, He hears you whenever you call upon Him. The Holy Spirit has always been helping you and guiding you in all your ways even though you may not see Him. Just keep trusting Him and let your faith be on the increase. He is the only one who can comfort you.
