~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Pray in the Spirit at all times
A key part of a believer's spiritual armor is prayer - prayer in the Spirit. Ephesians 6:18 speaks about this defensive/offensive weapon in our spiritual armory, "Pray in the Spirit at all times in every prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert and always persevere in supplication for all the saints."Let us pray.
Holy Spirit God, attend our prayers and make
this house and our hearts Your home. Lord, descend with all your gracious
powers, we pray, Holy Spirit come!
Come as light, teach us, and reveal our need
– our hidden and secret weaknesses show us. Stir within us a desire to have
peace with You, to turn from darkness and to become light. Lord lead us in that
narrow path of life where all the righteous go.
Come Holy Spirit fire! Purge our soul with
your Spirit-wrapped Gospel. Cause our hearts to burn with desire to know You
and worship You in truth, so that our soul and body may be a holy offering in
our Redeemer’s name. O Spirit, shape us to look and be like Christ, and empower
us to do His will always.
O Spirit - Come as the dew and refresh us
with a fresh anointing of You. O Emmanuel – Spirit of God with us and in us, may
Your life-creating power move freely in this place and through us, and unify us
in Your purpose.
Holy Spirit come as the dove of true peace
founded in Your precious love. Produce in us Your Love, so that it flows into us
deeply and teaches us how to be a humble community ready and eager to do Your
will and glorify Your name in our thoughts, in our words, and in our deeds. May You draw us nearer to the Father and the
Son, may you speak your Word into us and sanctify us with your truth.
O Holy Spirit, come. In the mighty name of
Jesus, Amen.
