 When we decline prayer, the Holy Spirit is grieved. It breaks his heart when we neglect the word. When we refuse to surrender certain areas of our lives, it breaks his heart when we hold on to unforgiveness. It breaks his heart when we participate in slander and gossip and division. But my friend, remember this. If he loves us enough to be grieved by our disobedience, then that means that he loves us enough to be pleased when we surrender.
