Today is Pentecost Sunday would you join me in prayer:
God’s Spirit is approaching through time, across continents, soaring over creation. God’s Spirit is speaking whispering and comforting, roaring and challenging. God’s Spirit surrounds us beyond touch, warmly embracing God’s Spirit transforms us.
Making our horizons wider our faith stronger our hopes possible
Creator God, like a bird you hovered over the chaos of the world’s first day, drawing life from crashing waves and making a world of possibility. You hovered still over parting waters, liberating an enslaved people, guiding them forward with cloud and fire,nurturing your followers and sharing your love.
Like a still, small voice you made your presence felt to prophets and healers, to a people in exile, and young mothers-to-be. In the life of Jesus your healing touch was felt and all were made welcome.
Like flickering embers dancing into flame, you revived those who looked for you, inspiring their speech and startling onlookers. Undeterred by death, you delivered creative power, transforming determination and your eternal, supporting presence.
And your Spirit nurtures us still, a gathered people at Pentecost, moved to celebrate, free to be ourselves, glad to meet God and open ourselves to the world around us. Spirit of the living God move among us, as you transform us into the people you invite us to be, as you transform the world into the place you dream it to be. Make us one in love, humble, caring, selfless, sharing.
Blow among us, Spirit of God, fill us with your courage and care. Hurricane and Breath, take us on a journey of love! AMEN
