Here
is one of a number of wonderful prayers for Pentecost written by John van de
Laar and posted on his excellent site, Sacredise.com.
In
this act of prayer, O God
Our
lives are opened to You, and with them, our world.
We
pray that Your Spirit
would
whisper through every heart and everyplace
where
the voice of Your Presence is silent.
We
ask that Your Spirit
would
challenge and empower
all
who are weak, broken, diseased or weeping.
We
long for Your Spirit
to
inspire all who follow You
to
think, speak and live as true imitators of Christ
That
our world and all who live in it
may
know peace, healing and reconciliation with you and with each other.
Bless
us, O Lord,
that
we may become the building-blocks of Your Kingdom among us.
In
Jesus' Name.
Amen.
