Lord, fill us with your Spirit.

Let the Spirit affect us in ways that we cannot understand.

Let it move us to tears when we have no reason to cry.

Let it move us to laughter when we feel we have nothing left to rejoice about.

Let it show us pictures of you

And move us to see each other as representatives of you.

Let it cause us to feel when we have tried to shut off our feelings from the outside world.

And, O God, when the Spirit moves,

Let us recognize that what it is that causes us to think,

Feel,

Love,

Cry,

Laugh,

Let us recognize that it is your Spirit in us causing all these things.

Amen.
