John 15:26
“But I will send you the Advocate - the Spirit of truth. He will come to you from the Father and will testify all about me.”

The Holy Spirit is not distant or passive. Scripture describes him as our Advocate - one who comes alongside us, speaks on our behalf, and guides us into truth.

He guards our hearts, nudges our conscience, and gently redirects us when we start to drift. But this guidance still requires willingness. The Spirit leads, yet we are the ones who decide whether or not to follow.

Allowing the Holy Spirit to guide us begins with surrender. That means slowing down enough to listen and choosing obedience when his prompting is clear.

Obedience, even in small things, builds trust and sensitivity over time.

The Holy Spirit is faithful to guide - but guidance is a relationship, not a shortcut. Spend time today reflecting on what it would mean for the Holy Spirit to be both your guide and your guard.

As you stay connected and accountable to God, you’ll discover that you're not navigating life alone. God has given you his Spirit to lead, protect, and walk with you every step of the way.

Prayer:
God, I come before you seeking your guidance. Where are you inviting me to step out in faith today? Please reveal the places in my heart that need your attention, so I can begin the work of restoration and walk the path you have set for me. I love you, I trust you, and I worship you. Amen.

Series Theme Verse:

Hebrews 2:1
So we must listen very carefully to the truth we have heard, or we may drift away from it.
