A prayer for encouragement

Come, Holy Spirit. Come near to us and bless our prayer. Refresh, renew and fill us that we might receive our calling anew. Teach us patience that we might reflect your patient love as we seek to sing a new song so that in all things we might give glory to God, through Christ and in the power of the Spirit. Encourage us and fill us with hope for the future that with warmed hearts, fresh harmonies and renewed hands and voices we might pour ourselves out in love for others as you have poured out your love for us in Christ. Come, Holy Spirit. Come, Lord, come.
