October 26 Prayer

October 26 Prayer

The same Spirit
We all have.
We are being changed,
transformed as children of glory.

It’s a slow process and takes endurance to wait for the day
when all things, all people and all of creation are set completely free.

Freedom will come, peace will come,
justice will come and everything will be made right as it
was intended from the beginning.

So we wait with joyful anticipation with a yearning of what is yet to come.
Like a rose bud beginning to unfold by the light of the early morning’s sun.

Let this hope in waiting begin to rise within you now as you pray;

“Come Holy Spirit,
Enlarge within us the seed of hope that you have sown in our hearts.

May our prayers rise up in our yearning for more.

May we see within the decay and corruption of creation groaning
that there is beauty in waiting and looking for your glory to be found.

It’s here within us.
It’s all around us when we let hope come by seeing.
We all share your spirit.

May we become more a part of the same spirit together.
To show this hope to the world around us by living in unity.

While we eagerly wait, come and
grow this desire for your glory in us.

May we work together for the common good,
the higher place to dwell with you.

In our thoughts and intentions we confess
we need your spirit there.
In our deeds and motivations,
we need your spirit there.
In our eyes to see and our ears to hear,
we need your spirit.

Come Holy Spirit and have your way in us today and
let your glory unfold!

Amen
