A prayer

“The Spirit of the Lord will come powerfully on you, you will prophesy with them, and you will be transformed.

When these signs have happened to you, do whatever your circumstances require, because God is with you.”

…When Saul turned to leave Samuel, God changed his heart. (1 Samuel 10:6-7, 9)

Father, what you did for one man, and only for a short time, you have now done for your entire church, giving us your Spirit. (Acts 1:8; 2:1-18)

Because of Saul’s unfaithfulness and sin, your Spirit eventually left him. (1 Samuel 16:14)

But because of your faithfulness and your grace, you promise never to forsake us. (2 Timothy 2:13; Hebrews 13:5)

Holy Spirit, come down powerfully on all your people. Transform us. Change our hearts. Lead us. Use us to touch this nation and bring your salvation to it.

Today, help us touch our loved ones, our coworkers, our neighbors, and everyone around us with your love.

In Jesus’ name, amen.
