Come Holy Spirit Come! Fill the lives of Christian worshippers. Come Holy Spirit and revive the Church and lead us in worshipping the one true God. Through the precious blood of Jesus we are saved and through the Holy Spirit we can be quickened to tell others about the saving power of Christ's blood! Give us the courage to tell others about Jesus and what He has done for us. Let us preach boldly that 'He is Risen' and that He is still doing the same things today that He did in the Bible. Jesus is Lord and those who trust in His name are called to be baptized. Baptized not just with water but with the Holy Spirit as well. In His name, AMEN.

ABBA, we pray for the children of the world who have no parents and no place to call home. With your beauthiful voice call them to You and call Christians to minister to these young people.

Father help us all to put on Christ daily. By participating in His life we get to participate in His death, and therefore we get to be a part of His glorious resurrection. However, putting off the old man and putting on Christ and living a genuine Christian life can only be done through Your grace and Holy Spirit. Please bless us with Your grace and Holy Spirit so that we can further the Kingdom through the power of Jesus. Amen.

Lord, put it in our hearts to seek you in silence. To meditate on your creation and your word. Let us silently marvel at the mystery of Christ's life, death, and resurrection. Dear God, we pray to be more Christ-like. Through your grace and through the Holy Spirit make us more like the Son. Help us to daily take up the cross and to daily put off the old and put on the new. In Jesus' name, Amen

"More than all things love silence: it brings you a fruit that tongue cannot describe."
-Isaac of Niniveh (a Syrian monk)
Dear God, speak gently in my silence. When the loud outer noises of my surroundings and the loud inner noises of my fears keep pulling me away from you, help me to trust that you are still there even when I am unable to hear you. Give me ears to listen to your small, soft voice saying: "Come to me you who are overburdened, and I will give you rest ... for I am gentle and humble of heart." Let that loving voice be my guide. Amen.
Almighty God, our heavenly Father, who hast commited to thy holy Church the care and nurture of thy children; Enlighten with thy wisdom those who teach and those who learn, that, rejoicing in the knowledge of thy truth, they may worship thee and serve thee from generation to generation; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Dear Father, thank you for your beautiful creation. The natural wonders of this earth are truly awe inspiring. Help us to always realize that you made the earth and all who live in it. Let all of us, regardless of nationality, who profess Christ as savior, live in harmony and fellowship. Let us show the nations the beauty of Jesus' love. Let us love all, regardless of nationality or religion as Jesus commands us to love all. In His name, AMEN
