The Trinity in our Prayers
I’ve been quoting Joel Beeke this week. One more quote,
“Prayer is commanded by the Father, made acceptable by the Son, shaped into desires and words by the Spirit, and sent back up to the Son, who, through His intercession, presents it as acceptable and well pleasing to His heavenly Father. So, lean heavily on the Spirit to help you compose your prayers, trust in Christ to make your prayers effectual, and rest in the Father’s love that sent both Son and Spirit down from heaven. Through the Son and in the Spirit, your prayers will reach the ears of the Father on high.”
