Holy Spirit, Breath of the Living God,
fulfillment of the promise of the Risen Lord,
You entered the room of fearful hearts
and turned trembling disciples into living witnesses.
You filled their silence with fire,
their weakness with courage,
their confusion with a language of love.
Come also into the closed rooms within me.
Breathe through the places I keep hidden,
the fears I cannot name,
the words I am afraid to speak.
Fill me as You filled the apostlesโ
not for my own comfort,
but that I may proclaim the wonders of God.
Spirit of Pentecost,
teach my tongue to speak kindness,
my life to speak justice,
my silence to speak compassion,
and my choices to speak Christ.
Where there is division, make me a bridge.
Where there is despair, make me a bearer of hope.
Where hearts no longer listen,
let my life become a language others can understand.
Holy Spirit,
You did not erase differences,
but made every nation hear the same Good News.
Teach me to listen before speaking,
to understand before judging,
to love before demanding to be loved.
And when I feel empty, uncertain, or unworthy,
remind me that Pentecost begins
not with strength, but with surrender.
Fill me again with Your presence,
that everything I say and do
may proclaim Jesus Christ,
the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
Amen.
