How to pray for the Holy Spirit? (And other thoughts on the Lord's Prayer)

[@fredr7217]

Amen. Maranatha!

Great Sermon Pastor 👍

[@RaymondaThomas-qr1rv]

Pastor, so glad I found you on my phone. As you were talking about this subject, I laughed a little. Then tears welled up. I do this, over and over. Also, I tell Jesus how much I love him, constantly. Knowing I cannot give him, enough. Never. But I try....I have just started going to a Lutheran church. After much searching, I believe I have found my place.

"What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer..." Yes indeed. God's peace Pastor Wolfmueler.

Thanks!

What a great gift to receive today! Many thanks, Pastor

This is most beautiful especially your closing remarks. ‘Take not Thy Holy Spirit from me’.

[@patenmk2286]

Hey pastor Wolfmueller, I've got the 1941 edition of the Lutheran Hymnal, given to me by our former pastor (he's retired now), I've found the mentioned prayers on page 102 and read along with you. It has been a tremendous blessing for us to discover such prayers. Thank you for bringing this up. Got a question concerning this topic, could we daily pray for the Holy Spirit to come to us? In doing so, what are we exactly doing/asking for? Are we appealing God for the Holy Ghost to enlighten us to understand God's word, by instance?

[@Blaisesongs]

Old Hymnal fan here. Grew up with that one. Will check out those prayers, and yes, although I’m Lutheran, I also don’t think we talk enough about the Holy Spirit. Great little teaching! Thanks so much!

[@dennisloriq1059]

We still use TLH in our church. Love all the old prayers and beautiful liturgy.

[@diannhall7564]

Thank you so much ✝️. I was brought up going to Lutheran churches. I remember being confused (as a child) hearing so often about the Holy Ghost 👻. Thank God I am beyond that 🙏📖✝️❗. Also, I liked what you said about waltzing into God's presence 🙂

[@bryantrelfa6211]

GREAT HELP. I INTEND TO ADD THIS PRAYER.

[@MrGassemann]

Please share these prayers in writing. Thank you

[@mhuston865]

So thankful for God's gift of prayer. Before a handbell practice one evening, many of us were feeling worn out or confused or upset over various events of the day. The director had us open our practice by praying The Lord's Prayer together. It was so comforting to be able to take our concerns before God. Everyone's concerns were varied and many of us could not have articulated a coherent petition if our lives depended upon it. Yet after prayer, our spirits were lifted and comforted in the assurance that we were heard.

[@jefweb5043]

Pastor, anytime you can plug The Lutheran Hymnal, my heart aches. I can't wait to see the time when you break down the Vespers, Order of Matins...anything in that old hymnal. Thank you!

[@LisaB_12204]

You don't like the old hymnal? Why does your heart ache?

[@jefweb5043]

@@LisaB_12204 As usual, poor choice of words on my part. I love The Lutheran Hymnal. Aches clearly isn't the word that correctly describes my love for that book. I wish the LCMS had never moved away from it, in fact.

[@debbiecordis6125]

So much richness in the TLH! I find so much comfort from it.

[@swm1700]

I love that hymnal! My church uses the 1941 Order of Matins once a month.

[@ianwilson1518]

Hey, I recognize those prayers! Those same prayers are in the 1928 BCP!

[@Kerosenetrewthe]

Besides the Lutheran hymnal regarding references to the Holy Spirit, the bible says plenty! Read your bible :)

[@torchofkck4989]

The Lord longs for being annoyed by the quantity of your prayers.... But, the quality for what you pray for may not acceptable. Just make sure that you pray for what is within God's Wil. So that you may delight in it.

[@thomaseubank1503]

"Our Father who art in Heaven how are you going today? Nice to see you." small talk with God I guess.

[@joebolling]

According to scripture we receive the Holy Spirit by obeying God’s commandments, not merely by asking for it.

[@franciscafazzo3460]

For me please I'm in distress

[@mysticmouse7261]

How can you tell your talking to the air is effective?

[@allengoforth24]

What Bible do you use Pastor?

[@lt9773]

Does this just means he gives the Holy Spirit once when we become saved? Or is this a continuous thing we can receive when we pray daily?

[@two_coats_and_two_root_beers]

Is there a right way to be annoying in prayer? Are there certain things we should stop praying about if the prayers aren't answered?

[@RodneyPeters]

Every prayer is answered and the answers are "Yes", "No", or "Not yet"

[@DALhsm]

The only things you should stop praying for, are the things that are contrary to God's will and Desire.

[@Lutheranjenkins]

@@RodneyPeters That's what I always say! I wonder if we've crossed paths before?

[@rukusfan1387]

There are three answers to prayer. Yes. No. and wait. Keep praying the scripture and He always says yes to His Word ...
