A Pentecost Prayer

Come Holy Spirit,

Our hearts cry out for more of you, Lord,

In a world full of brokenness,

Show us how to use our gifts to repair and restore.

Spirit of peace,

Fall on places of conflict around the world,

Heal divisions and hurts,

Bring together families torn apart by war.

Spirit of justice,

Anoint decision-makers with wisdom,

To bring about systemic change and truth,

Where cycles of poverty and bias have taken root.

Come Holy Spirit,

We let you take control,

Show us how we can build back better,

Unite, bless others and renew.

In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.
