A Scripture and a Prayer: “Holy Spirit Power”

“But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” (Acts 1:8)

Prayer:

Lord, we come today praying to be sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit, guiding us to those who are seeking hope and answers. Equip us with the words to say, the love to share, and the wisdom to help others find You. Fill us with Your Holy Spirit so that we may be bold witnesses for You so that we can make a difference in our communitas and the world for Christ. Grant us the courage to speak Your name when it feels uncomfortable, to stand for what is right and true, and let our lives reflect Your grace and mercy to those around us. May our actions speak so loudly that others are drawn to You through us. And may the power of the Holy Spirit be evident in our lives as I seek to serve You and bring glory to Your name. And this we ask in Jesus’s name. AMEN
