Prayer based on John 20:22. Themes: Holy Spirit, Breath of Life, Commissioning
Dear Lord,
As we read the words of your holy scripture, we are reminded of the moment when you breathed on your disciples and gave them the gift of the Holy Spirit. We pray that you would also breathe on us today, filling us with your Spirit and empowering us to live out your will in our lives.
May we be open to receiving your Spirit, and may it guide us in all that we do. Help us to be vessels of your love and grace, sharing your message with those around us and bringing hope to a world in need.
Thank you for the gift of your Spirit, and for the ways in which it transforms us from the inside out. May we always be mindful of your presence with us, and may we live each day in the power of your Spirit.
In Jesus’ name we pray,
Amen.
