A Prayer to Be Filled with the Holy Spirit | Your Daily Prayer

I know that the Spirit is always present, always working. But the stresses and struggles of life can mean that I don’t recognize the Spirit; I may even close myself off from the Spirit’s work. But still, in your grace, you promise that the Spirit is given to me, a testimony to the covenant you made with me in my baptism. I pray that you renew me and my faith with the power of your Spirit. Send the fire of the Spirit over me, as on the day of Pentecost. In faith, I open myself to the Spirit’s work in my life. O Holy Spirit, work through me. Guide me into all truth, lead me deeper in faith, inspire my prayers and work forcefully through those prayers, and stretch me beyond my comforts to the places of ministry and witness. Come, Holy Spirit, come. Fill me anew. Set me afire. Breathe in me and work through me. Amen.
