Prayer for May 15-21, 2016
Sermon Text: Acts 2:1-21
That your Spirit will sweep into our presence in surprising ways
God of all, we rejoice that You have poured out your Spirit upon your
people. We rejoice that You gave so generously of yourself and that gender, age
and economic differences did not limit your kindness. We rejoice in the
surprise of your disciples and the amazement of all who witnessed the new thing
You had done. We rejoice that You broke through language barriers in order to
enable people to speak and hear of your saving acts. You are incomparable! We
praise You with joy!
Sometimes our faith seems tired and worn. Let your Spirit sweep into our
presence in surprising new ways. Blow away all that is dead and dry within us.
Let our hearts burn with love for You and for the people around us. Fill us
with new hope. Expand our vision for the future You are creating. Energize us
for bold witness and glad service. Break down every barrier to communicating
your love boldly.
We
thank You for fulfilling your promise. We rejoice in You and in your gift. Let
your Spirit guide us and touch other lives through ours. Amen.
