Daily Prayer ...

The following has been adapted from a prayer by the monastic community Jesusbruderschaft, and communicates the daily process of consecration and motivation to rest in, yield to and serve God empowered by the Holy Spirit.

For your reflection....

Holy Spirit of the living God

I thank you that, by faith, I know

That You are alive in me.

In the depth of my being,

Deeper than all my thoughts,

Deeper than ally feelings, deeper than my will,

You have made your home.

I praise you,

I worship you,

I love you

I thank you

That you have made my body your home,

That you even call it your temple.

I thank you, first and foremost, 

That you have revealed Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour to me, 

And all the blessings of his atoning sacrifice are now mine.

I offer myself to you for this new day,

Your purposes and your guidance,

And hold nothing back.

Lead me,

And prepare me for every opportunity

to experience your mighty power.

Give me a special opportunity 

To put to death my selfish nature,

So that Jesus Christ can live in me.

Make me a channel of your love and healing,

Your power and blessing for each person

That I will meet today.

Work all these things, O Holy Spirit,

So that our loving Father in Heaven is glorified today

And Christ is made known.

AMEN
