A Prayer about the Transforming Work of the Spirit

….that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being… Ephesians 3:16

Risen Jesus,

Thank you for sending your Spirit as our Helper. 

No shriveled weakling is your Spirit; 

indeed, your Spirit strengthens us 

with a superpower far surpassing 

Superman’s or Wonderwoman’s. 

Your Spirit raises us 

right out of our spiritual death. 

Your Spirit softens hard hearts. 

Your Spirit renews our inner beings. 

Your Spirit roots your love deep 

in the once-rocky soil 

of our heart, soul, mind, and body. 

Your Spirit transforms us, 

that we may bear the fruit of being grafted into you: 

We walk in your love; 

we share your joy; 

we seek your peace; 

we wait with your patience; 

we move in your kindness; 

we reflect your goodness; 

we trust with your faithfulness; 

we touch with your gentleness; 

we resist with your self-control. 

Oh, yes, Lord, how we thank you 

for leaving your Spirit as our best Help!

In your kind name we pray. Amen.

Read Ephesians 3:14-21; John 14:15-17; Galatians 5:22-26.
