Breathe in me O Holy Spirit
that my thoughts may all be holy;
Act in me O Holy Spirit
that my works, too, may be holy;
Draw my heart O Holy Spirit
that I love but what is holy;
Strengthen me O Holy Spirit
to defend that is holy;
Guard me then O Holy Spirit
that I always may be holy.

St. Augustine of Hippo (AD 354-430)

God allowed Jacob's crisis to close around him when he bowed at Peniel in supplication, to bring him to the place where he could take hold of God as he never would have done; and from this, Jacob became enlarged in his faith and knowledge of God, and in the power of a new and victorious life.

God had to compel David, by a long and painful discipline of years, to learn the power and faithfulness of God, and to grow up into the principles of faith and godliness, which were indispensable for his glorious career as the king of Israel.

Nothing but the extremities in which Paul was constantly placed could ever have taught him, the full meaning of God's great promise, “My grace is sufficient for thee.”

Nothing but our trials and challenges would ever have led us to know Him, to trust Him, and to draw from Him a bucketful of grace from such experiences. Difficulties and obstacles are God’s challenges to faith. When hindrances confront us in the path of duty, we are to recognize them as vessels for faith to fill with the fullness and all-sufficiency of Jesus;

As we go forward, simply and fully trusting Him, we may be tested, we may have to wait and let patience have her perfect work; but we shall surely find at last the stone rolled away, and the Lord waiting to render unto us double for our time of testing.

Some of us maybe troubled, wondering why the Holy Spirit does not fill us. The truth of the matter is that we have plenty coming in but we lack in giving out to others. If you will give the blessing you have received, if you plan your life around greater service and being a blessing to those around you., then you will quickly find that the Holy Spirit is with you.

He will bestow blessings to you for service, giving you all that He can trust you to give away to others. Just as when the apostles "were filled with the Holy Spirit: (Acts 2:4), they did not lease the Upper Room and stay there to hold holiness meetings. They went everywhere, sharing the Good News and doing great deeds and miracles for others.

I will bless the Lord forever
And I will trust Him at all times
He has delivered me from all fear
And He has set my feet upon a rock

And I will not be moved
And I'll say of the Lord

You are my shield, my strength
My portion, Deliverer
My shelter, strong tower
My very present help in time of need

Whom have I in Heaven but You?
There's none I desire beside You
You have made me glad
And I'll say of the Lord

You are my shield, my strength
My portion, Deliverer
My shelter, strong tower
My very present help
You are my shield, my strength
My portion, Deliverer
My shelter, strong tower
My very present help in time of need

You have made me glad
And I'll say of the Lord
My very present help in time of need

There is divine mystery in suffering. No one has ever developed a deep level of spirituality of holiness without experiencing a great deal of suffering. When a person who suffers reaches a point where he can be calm and carefree, inwardly smiling at his own suffering, and no longer asking God to be delivered from it, then the suffering has accomplished its blessed ministry, perseverance has "finished its work" (James 1:4) and the pain of the Crucifixion has begun to weave itself unto a crown.

It is in this experience of complete suffering that the Holy Spirit works many miraculous things deep within our soul. In this condition, our entire being lies perfectly still under the hand of God; every power and ability of the mind, will and heart are at last submissive; a quietness of eternity settles into the entire soul; and finally, the mouth becomes quiet, having only a few words to say, and stops crying out the words Christ said: "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" (Ps 22:1)

At this point the person stops imagining castles in the sky, and pursuing foolish ideas, and his reasoning becomes calm and relaxed, with all choices removed, because the only choice has now become the purpose of God. His emotions are weaned away from the other people and things, so that nothing can hurt, offend, hinder, or get in his way. He can now let the circumstances be what they may, and continue to seek only God and His will, with the calm assurance that He is causing everything in the universe, whether good or bad, past or present, to work "for the good of those who love him" (Romans 8:28)

Oh the blessings of absolute submission to Christ! Losing our own strength, wisdom, plans and desires and to have our being become like a peaceful Sea of Galilee under the omnipotent feet of Jesus.

Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
