1. How can the Holy Spirit become a practical help in our daily lives?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The idea that the Holy Spirit<\/a> can help us on a day-to-day basis stirs a lot of questions for many people. Who is the Spirit? For whom does the Spirit exist? Does the Holy Spirit have a purpose? What exactly does the Holy Spirit do? I think we start by opening our minds to the possibility that we have a heaven-sent helper, the divine helper.<\/p>\n

The presence of God<\/a> seeks to be our friend. And for many people that\u2019s a whole new idea because we\u2019re trained in our culture that it\u2019s me, myself and I. If I\u2019m going to succeed, it\u2019s because I pull myself up by the bootstraps. So for many the first step is opening yourself up to the possibility that you have an unfailing friend in the Holy Spirit<\/a>. And that Holy Spirit is the presence of God active on earth today, who is ready to guide you and give you strength.<\/p>\n

2. How can the Holy Spirit bring us peace?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Holy Spirit descended at the baptism of Jesus<\/a>. In the Gospel of Luke, it says the Holy Spirit came as a dove. I cannot think of a bird more peaceful, more calming. I believe the Holy Spirit comes like a dove to remind us that he is here to calm the world.<\/p>\n

The first reference in the Bible to the Holy Spirit is in the very first book, the very first chapter: Genesis 1:2. The Spirit of God hovered over the deep. The creation had yet to begin. The world was just a teeming mass of fury, but the Spirit of God came and hovered, like an eagle hovering over a nest of eaglets to calm them down.<\/p>\n

The Holy Spirit is ever present to calm us and help us. If we welcome the Holy Spirit\u2019s work in our lives<\/a>, then we can develop the habit of talking to the Holy Spirit throughout the day, trusting in his leading, learning to hear his voice. That calming presence will help us, especially these days, when we deal with so much anxiety.<\/p>\n

3. How does the Holy Spirit guide us?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

On the night before his crucifixion, Jesus talked about the coming of the Holy Spirit and said, \u201cThe Holy Spirit will guide you<\/a> into all truth.\u201d The Holy Spirit guides us by verse and voice, of which there are two types. Sometimes it\u2019s that inner voice, that inner knowing. He may guide us through thoughts that we have, maybe through impulses. I realize this gets a bit mystical, but that\u2019s the nature of the Holy Spirit<\/a>. We have a voice within us. It\u2019s more than a conscience. This is a voice within us telling us to turn this way or that, or to avoid this or to pursue that.<\/p>\n

The second type is the voice of trusted friends, colleagues, family. People who wish you well, who desire what\u2019s best for you, may contact you to say, \u201cI\u2019m thinking of you today. I\u2019m praying for you.\u201d Just today I felt an impulse to tell someone that they are very important in God\u2019s plan. And it was so strong in my spirit to say it that, had I not said it, I would\u2019ve felt as if I\u2019d been disobedient. So I was that voice in the life of a friend.<\/a><\/p>\n
