Praying in the Spirit activates the grace of God to pray perfect prayers in any situation. These prayers go beyond our own agendas and beyond our rational understanding.

When we pray in the Spirit, divine insight enlightens our hearts so that we can hit the mark when we pray.

Praying in the Spirit With Eager Expectation

The book of Jude has only one chapter, but it is full of revelation and divine insight about praying in the Spirit:

“But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life” (Jude 20-21, NASB).

The wording catches my attention: “waiting anxiously.” That does not contradict the Scriptures about casting your anxieties upon the Lord (see 1 Pet. 5:7, Phil. 4:6, Matt. 6:25-34).

“Waiting anxiously” means waiting with expectation, hardly being able to contain your eagerness. Praying in the Spirit releases a supernatural atmosphere and enables you to walk continuously in the love of God.
