Day 5: Yielding, Praying, and Standing Together
Reading: Ephesians 6:18
18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.
Reading: Romans 8:26-27
26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. 27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.

Devotional:
Paul closes his instruction on the armor not with a battle cry but with a call to prayer. Everything in the armor of God is received and sustained through a life of prayer led by the Holy Spirit. Yielding is the foundation of it all. When we submit to the Spirit's leading, we learn to pray beyond our own understanding, interceding for one another and walking in step with Jesus. The armor is not worn in isolation. It is worn together, as the body of Christ, standing side by side. You were never meant to fight alone. Yield, pray, and stand together with God's people.
What would it look like for your prayer life to be less about your agenda and more about the Spirit's leading? Who in your church community are you actively praying for and standing with?
Reach out to one person in your church community today. Pray for them by name and, if possible, let them know you are praying. Choose to stand with someone rather than standing alone this week.

Todays devo left me feeling grateful, grateful for all the prayers God has answered, and grateful for any opportunity to pray with other believers. I’m very grateful for how we can post prayers in the app as well. I want to work on getting out of my comfort zone with prayer, and follow the leading of the Holy Spirit, not praying on my own terms. For example, making excuses that I’m an introvert, or tired, or I have a headache, and missing opportunities to encounter God. The battle against the flesh is hard, but I know that it’s just a fiery dart keeping me from victory.
