Spirit-led Prayer

Jarrett Stephens teaches from Luke 10:21 in a message called "Spirit-led Prayer." Prayer can feel difficult and discouraging, and many of us wish we had an easy button to become people of prayer. But Jesus, though He was conceived by the Spirit, filled with the Spirit, and led by the Spirit, still faced temptation and hardship. Spirit-led prayer is not about making life effortless. It is about the Holy Spirit shaping us to trust God more deeply.

Jarrett shows how Jesus redirected the 72 disciples from rejoicing in their own power to rejoicing in God's work. Then Jesus prayed with thanksgiving for the Father's character and His surprising ways. When joy is missing and gratitude feels impossible, Jesus teaches us to keep asking, keep seeking, and keep knocking, and to ask the Father for more of the Holy Spirit.
