Spirit of the living God. Live in us, breathe through us and give us the power that comes from you Lord. God, we thank you and praise you and bless your holy name. We need you Lord, for we are powerless to live the life you have called us to live except you help us. Fill us with your everlasting spirit. Prepare us and give us what we need for this great work. Forgive our sins and trespasses. Help us to walk together in Christian love that we might “go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,” Amen.
