Today's Prayer
When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability. — Acts 2:1-4 Holy One, we remember. We remember what it was like to gather as one together there, when the Spirit rushed us, our hearts flamed from the brush of its wings, of Your wings. We remember when that Spirit’s touch, your touch, rested on each of us, how we spoke what you gave us to speak. We remember bewilderment. astonishment. disbelief. We remember remembering a prophet’s words. We remember your promises. your power your joy. We remember how to open ourselves to vision, your vision. We remember it is you who save us not us that save you. Save us completely, Holy One. We, your grateful people, remember. AMEN Come, Spirit Come Words, Karen L Munson (Acts 2:1-21) Tune: O Waly, Waly (folk tune) As on that day, they gathered in an upper room, made Jesus’ kin. So now let us together be, in praise enclosed and so set free. Remember now, the touch of fire, Spirit filled air in that same hour As in that room they knew your power, come now to me, my soul inspire! Rest on us here, as then be now. Your pow’r make known, your grace allow, the words to flow, by vision formed, as old and young are strangely warmed. Around this world, we watch for signs of love made bold, of God’s design. Yearning from sin’s distress to be forever saved by One in Three. By Rev. Karen L. Munson, DMIN, Many Waters District Superintendent
