"Lord, teach me to abide in You and to follow the leading of Your Spirit in my life."
You can count on this- God's Spirit will never lead you into sin. He leads you in all truth. He leads you down the paths of righteousness. He leads you to love and to serve others. This life of faith is simply ordering everything that you are and do around the work of God's Spirit in your life. Peter put it this way:
"His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and goodness. Through these He has give us His very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, have escaped the corruption of the world caused by evil desires." 2 Peter 1:3-4
Living by the Spirit is trusting God to complete the work He began in you. You can count on Him to complete this task even though you don't always cooperate.

A child of God- beloved, holy, righteous, blameless, healed, forgiven, brand new, sheep, salt, light, a branch, temple of God, reconciled, a saint, God's workmanship, hidden with Christ in God, an expression of the life of Christ because He is my life, a partaker, a living stone- crucified with Christ, I no longer live but Christ lives IN ME!
