Heavenly Father, we thank you for the gift of Your Holy Spirit. We ask that You fill us with the working of Your Spirit and pour out on us the power of the Holy Spirit in our lives, that we may experience the guidance, comfort, encouragement and assurance of Your presence. Please empower us, Lord, so that we may fulfill the purposes You have for us. Enliven within us the gifts of Your Spirit, that we may grow in our faith and knowledge of You. Unite us with each other in Your love, that we may be one in our devotion to You and show Your mercy and compassion to people in need. Grant us courage, strength and vision to serve You faithfully in our everyday life. We praise You, Almighty God, for the presence of Your Spirit in our lives. Amen.
