The Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon Him,
the Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
the Spirit of counsel and might,
the Spirit of knowledge and
of the fear of the LORD.
Isaiah 11:2
The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Might; He exercised great power in creation, in the Resurrection, in judgment and in the supernatural miracles of the Bible. He can forgive your sins, fix your life, guide you this day and keep you from the Evil One. He can accomplish God’s perfect plan in your life. Will you let the Spirit of Might do it?
O Spirit of Might, teach me Your power. Give me the necessary ability to carry out the decisions that You lead me to make. I need greater faith in You.
The secret of the Christian life is not to have great faith in God. Did not Jesus recognize the smallness of belief when He said, “O you of little faith” (Matthew 14:31)? The secret is to have faith in a great God. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Might; when you realize His great strength and the great things He can do for you, your faith will be strengthened to believe in far greater things. Don’t just pray for greater faith, pray for understanding of God; then you can have greater faith. The One who can give you that greater estimation of God is the Spirit of Might who already dwells in your heart. Ask Him now for the faith you need for this day.
O Spirit of Might, I pray with the disciples, “Increase our faith” (Luke 17:5). I recognize that You can do all You promise in the Scriptures; now I claim that work in my heart today. Amen.

You don’t need greater faith; you need a greater understanding of God.
