“Jesus is saying, ‘There is one gift that is always given, there is one prayer that is always answered, and that is a prayer for the Holy Spirit to come upon us.'”

– Dr. Alyce McKenzie

O, Holy Spirit, blow your healing wind

into our dark corners

our dusty crevices

our sad, tired hearts,

clogged with fear and routine and traffic

Pass fresh winds of healing and grace

help us see things we do not know we are missing

Awaken us to new life in you.

Amen.
