We can know who we are and even where we are but if we don’t know when we are, we can miss the whole point. When are we? We are living in the age of the Holy Spirit, in the overlap, gloriously alive, empowered by Him, and participating by our own personality in the very personhood of Jesus, doing impossible things by faith in love.
Prayer:

Heavenly Father, You have chosen me to obey Jesus Christ by the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit. In Christ, You have granted me everything I need to manifest the fullness of life that is empowered by Your indwelling Spirit. I know that it is impossible to live out the spiritual life in my own resources and power and that only as I abide in Jesus and walk by the power of the Holy Spirit is it possible for me to display a life of godliness and righteousness. As I live by the Spirit, may I bear the fruit of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. May I be strengthened with power through Your indwelling Spirit so that I can live a life that will be pleasing to You and edifying to others. May the love of Christ overflow in my thoughts, words and deeds this very day.
