The Holy Spirit Helps Me Learn About Jesus

“But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.”  — John 14:26 (NASB 1995)

When you read your Bible, do you know who helps you understand it? The Holy Spirit!

He teaches your heart about Jesus. He reminds you of what’s true when you forget. He helps you remember God’s love when you’re scared or sad.

Try This:
 Before reading your Bible or Bible storybook, say: “Holy Spirit, help me understand!”

Prayer:
 Dear Holy Spirit, thank You for helping me learn about Jesus. Please teach me more today. Amen.

Don’t Study Alone—The Spirit Is Your Guide

“But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.”  — John 14:26 (NASB 1995)

You don’t need a theology degree to understand Scripture—you need the Holy Spirit.

Jesus said the Spirit would teach us all things and help us remember His words. That means the Spirit isn’t just for “spiritual moments”—He’s part of every Bible study, every prayer, and every life decision.

He brings depth, conviction, and clarity.

Challenge:
 Ask the Spirit to teach you before you read the Bible today. Journal anything He brings to mind.

Prayer:
 Holy Spirit, I want to understand truth—not just facts. Teach me what Jesus wants me to know and help me remember His words when I need them most. Amen.

Teaching Our Children to Be Taught by the Spirit

“But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.”  — John 14:26 (NASB 1995)

We often think it’s our job to explain every detail of Scripture to our children—but the Holy Spirit is their Teacher too.

When we pray before reading, when we invite the Spirit to illuminate the Word, we model humility and dependency on Him. And when our children begin to experience His help themselves, they build a lifelong relationship with their true Teacher.

Family Talk:

  • Have you ever had a Bible verse come to mind when you needed it?
  • Let’s pray before reading today and ask the Spirit to teach us all.

Prayer:
 Holy Spirit, we welcome You into our time together. Teach us what we don’t understand, remind us of Jesus’ words, and make our hearts soft to learn. Amen.

Spirit-Grown Fruit, Not Self-Grown Striving

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control…”  — Galatians 5:22–23 (NASB 1995)

The fruit of the Spirit is not something we manufacture; it’s what the Spirit produces in us as we remain in Christ.

You may try to be more patient or kinder in your own strength, but the results will always fall short. The Spirit brings the fruit—He does the growing.

Your part? Stay close. Walk with Him. Obey Him. Trust Him to shape your character from the inside out.

Reflection:
 Which fruit do you need the Spirit to grow in you most right now?

Prayer:
 Holy Spirit, I don’t want to fake fruit—I want real change. Cultivate Your fruit in me as I stay close to You. Amen.

God Grows Good Fruit in Me!

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control…”  — Galatians 5:22–23 (NASB 1995)

Did you know God can grow things in your heart? Not apples or bananas—but love, joy, peace, and more!

The Holy Spirit helps us grow to be like Jesus, and that means we start showing more love, more patience, and more kindness every day.

Try This:
 Draw a fruit basket and write one word from Galatians 5:22–23 on each fruit. Ask God to grow those in your heart!

Prayer:
 Holy Spirit, thank You for helping me grow good fruit in my heart. I want to be more like Jesus. Amen.

Real Growth Happens from the Inside Out

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control…”  — Galatians 5:22–23 (NASB 1995)

Culture teaches us to “fake it till we make it.” But God offers something better—authentic transformation.

The fruit of the Spirit isn’t a checklist; it’s the evidence that you’re walking with the Holy Spirit. It’s not about forcing behavior—it’s about growing in relationship.

When you’re close to Him, the fruit shows up.

Challenge:
 Pick one fruit (love, patience, etc.) and ask the Holy Spirit to grow it in a real way this week.

Prayer:
 Holy Spirit, make me real. Let Your fruit show up in my life, not because I’m trying to look good—but because I’m walking with You. Amen.

A Fruitful Home Is a Spirit-Filled Home

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control…”  — Galatians 5:22–23 (NASB 1995)

The fruit of the Spirit is not about performance—it’s about presence. When the Spirit is welcomed and obeyed in a home, the fruit of His presence becomes visible.

As mothers, we cannot force our children to bear fruit—but we can cultivate an environment where the Spirit is honored and His Word is lived out.

And as we walk with Him ourselves, our children will taste the fruit from our lives.

Family Talk:

  • Which of the fruits in Galatians 5 do we see in our home?
  • Which ones do we need to ask the Holy Spirit to help us grow?

Prayer:
 Holy Spirit, fill this home and grow Your fruit in each of us. Let our words, actions, and relationships reflect Your presence here. Amen.

Walking Differently

“But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh.”  — Galatians 5:16 (NASB 1995)

Walking by the Spirit isn’t a sprint—it’s a steady, daily pace of surrender.

When Paul says “walk by the Spirit,” he means letting the Spirit govern your thoughts, words, and choices. This walk guards you against the flesh—those old patterns that still whisper, “Take the easy path.”

But walking in the Spirit is how we live free. It’s how we glorify God and live out His will, one obedient step at a time.

Reflection:
 Are your steps today led by the flesh or the Spirit? Ask Him to help you slow down and listen.

Prayer:
 Holy Spirit, help me walk with You today. Let every thought and step be led by You, not by my flesh. Strengthen me to obey and walk in Your freedom. Amen.

Real Strength Is Saying No

“But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh.”  — Galatians 5:16 (NASB 1995)

Temptation is real—and sometimes it feels like it’s winning.

But Galatians 5:16 promises that if you walk by the Spirit, you will not carry out the desire of the flesh.

That means you don’t have to lose. You don’t have to give in. The Spirit of God in you is stronger than anything pulling you away from Him.

Walking by the Spirit is how you live strong—even when nobody else is.

Challenge:
 Name one area where you’ve been giving in to the flesh. Surrender it and ask the Holy Spirit to lead you step by step.

Prayer:
 Holy Spirit, I can’t do this alone. Help me walk with You, not give in to my old ways. Lead me into truth, purity, and strength. Amen.

Teaching Our Children to Walk in the Spirit

“But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh.”  — Galatians 5:16 (NASB 1995)

Children don’t just watch our words—they imitate our walk.

Paul says to walk by the Spirit so we don’t give in to the flesh. This is something we must model before we teach.

When your children see you pause to pray before reacting, or choose patience over frustration, you’re teaching them how to walk in the Spirit by example.

We’re not perfect, but we’re being made more like Christ.

Family Talk:

  • What does walking with the Spirit look like in our home?
  • Can you think of a time when we saw God help us say “no” to something wrong?

Prayer:
 Holy Spirit, help this home to walk closely with You. Let us follow You more than our feelings, and grow in obedience and love. Amen.
