How to Find the Perfect Prayer Partner

How to Find the Perfect Prayer Partner
Sometimes when we are faced with particularly challenging situations, the first thing we do is try to find the perfect prayer partner to agree with us in prayer. Jesus did promise that “if two of you agree on earth concerning anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven” (Mt 18:19]
However, in order for that verse to work, we need a prayer partner who will be on one harmonious accord with us when we pray! That is, having the same mind and passion. Friends might be working, busy with their families, sleeping, or otherwise unavailable. And if we do reach them, they may not be of a mind to pray.
The good news is you really do not have to look very far to find the perfect prayer partner. He is as close as the whisper of His name.
The Perfect Prayer Partner is the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is the perfect prayer partner. He will help you pray, praise and worship. He will help you have close fellowship with God. He will help you pray in accord with the will of God.
The Bible tells us to pray always with all prayer and supplication in the spirit. (Eph 6:18) Praying in the spirit literally means to pray in the spiritual realm with the Holy Spirit’s aid.
When we don’t know what to pray, the Holy Spirit will help us. The Holy Spirit knows the mind, heart and will of the Father. He will aid us in prayer. He does not pray for us. He helps us to pray effectively.
The Holy Spirit is the perfect prayer partner. And He is available anytime day or night.
