John 14:26 Devotional: The Holy Spirit Our Helper and Guide

Need guidance or clarity? This devotional on John 14:26 reflects on the Holy Spirit as our helper, teacher, and constant guide.

 

The comforter…will…bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

- John 14:26

Have you ever felt so terribly lonely that you feel it in the pit of your stomach?

Or maybe you think to yourself that if only you had a bigger home, a spouse, a different job… you would be happy.

That ache or longing is one that only the Holy Spirit can only fill.

We are all designed to have a relationship with God the Father. His desire is that we come to Him and fellowship with Him each day.

God is always with you. He never leaves you. Go to His Word and pray out loud to Him. He wants you to rest in Him. He sees your joys and happiness. But, He also understands your crushed dreams, hurts, and pain.

He wants to heal your broken heart.

Whatever you may be going through, whether happy or sad, He wants to share it with you.

Prayer: Jesus, I come to you today asking you to comfort me, guide me, and fill me. Be near to me, Lord, and help me navigate this day. Reveal Yourself to me in ways that I know are from you. Amen.

With Love,
Sherry Shepherd
