The Holy Spirit Helper
Do you often feel alone? Are there times where you need help? Do you long for the presence of someone who is with you and helping you? Who is your helper? Who is always present and always there for you?
We are living in a loneliness epidemic. We live lives of isolation and loneliness and we often do not have the connections, the presence, and the help we need to be safe, to be secure, and to flourish in life.
Attachment theory says we need a healthy attachment cycle, which often looks like this: we are seen, we are safe, we are soothed, and we develop a secure base. We need the presence and the security of a comforter and a helper.
In John’s gospel account, Jesus encouraged his disciples, saying, “I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you.” (John 14:16-17, ESV).
God provides the secure attachment that we need in Him. God gives us the power, the presence, and the peace of His Holy Spirit to help us and to be present with us. We are not alone. We are secure. We are rooted in God and God is with us. We have a present helper in the presence of God in His Holy Spirit.
May we rest in the secure attachment, safety, and protection of the presence of our Helper—The Holy Spirit of God.
A Collect for the Day of Pentecost: Whitsunday: “Almighty God, on this day, through the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, you revealed the way of eternal life to every race and nation: Pour out this gift anew, that by the preaching of the Gospel your salvation may reach to the ends of the earth; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.” (Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
