May 13 Prayer

May 13 Prayer
Jesus ascension

An end is also a beginning
A sending forth
An empowering of a new spirit
To go to all of creation
To tell of goodness, right standing , life forever...

A with God life
is where the air we breathe is free!

It is where we are not ever left alone.

We have received a Holy Spirit to give us power to tell.
Power to believe and,
Power to give a broken, torn up confused world.
The earth that is dying as suffocated under death.

And we have the air they need.
We have the water they are thirsty for.

Receive, dear followers of Christ.
He is alive in you!
Go and seek out those who are gasping for air and
breathe words of grace and love and life to them.

He goes before you,
He is for you,
You have the blessing to give!

‘Lord we are so unworthy to be your messengers.
But we have witnessed your goodness and grace towards us.

We lift our hands and our hearts to
have your Holy spirit empower us to go.

To tell of your wonders and
To live the blessing you have given to us.

We receive your abundant joy in our grieving
In our searching for you,
We will find you here.
Fill us again,
Fill us anew,
For what has ended is now a new beginning.

All praise to our risen Lord!
May our eyes stay fixed on You!

Amen
Acts 1:6-9, Mark 16:15-20, Jn. 16:19-20, Col.3:4
