Ray and I have spent a great deal of time praising God for His protection and marveling at His grace. To intercede for us and keep our home from burning is such a move of His Mighty Hand and His Unfailing Love.
The morning after we found the unburned skillet of grease sitting on the red hot burner, God asked Ray a question: "Are you surprised that I protected you?" Ray, in his honest way, said "Well, yes." God then said, "You shouldn't be! That's Who I Am!"
How many times do we take His love and protection for granted? I am convinced that there are many opportunities for destruction that He intercepts as the Holy Spirit is interceding for us.
Our 6th Definition of the Holy Spirit deals with just this truth:

#6. He is our Intercessor. This is probably one of the greatest miracles of grace. The Spirit who lives inside of us "intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words" (Rom. 8:26). Even when we don't know how to pray, the Spirit prays the perfect will of God. No matter what kind of dark difficulty we face, the Spirit travails for us until we emerge on the other side. (Lee Grady)

The Holy Spirit intercedes for us! How amazing, how awesome, how loving! No matter what you are facing, stay focused on Him. Let Him pray through you and intercede for you. God knows the plans He has for you, and they are the best! (Jer. 29:11) Only He is worthy of all our attention and praise!
Focused On Him,
Ann
