Dear God,

What is the spirit if not power and love?  On this Pentecost Sunday, we are reminded that your spirit came, blew upon the people and gave them ability to speak and hear and understand.  This was not a one-time event.  Pentecost is every day.  It blows upon us too.  It gives us abilities beyond our own.  Why do we not act upon it?

If it were not for your spirit, I would not rise in the morning.  I would not make important decisions.  I would not vote or love or reach out.  Your spirit changes everything.  It flows through us.  It empowers us.  It equips us.  It loves us.  It embraces us.  It emboldens us.  It renews and recreates us.  It moves us beyond shallow thinking.  Your spirit gives us light and vision and imagination.  Truly, your spirit wind is the wind beneath our wings!!!

Help us see

and act

upon your spirit,

O God.

Help us remember

your spirit wind

blowing in

and upon us.

Help us

breathe in

and then out

with power

and love.

Yours for always, Andrea
