TODAY’S WORD…

.

If the Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from death,

lives in you,

then He who raised Christ from death

will also give life to your mortal bodies

by the presence of His Spirit in you.

.

– Romans 8:11 (NRSV)

.

REFLECTION…

.

If the Spirit is in us,

Christ is in us.

.

He dwells in the heart by faith.

He renews us

and gives us life.

.

If we allow the Holy Spirit to live in us,

we become alive to God,

and we discover and delight in a holy happiness

which endures for ever.

. .

PRAYER…

.

Come, Spirit of the Living God,

come and dwell in my heart.

.

Remove from me all that is not from You,

and take away my spiritual fatigue.

.

Move me,

energise me,

revitalise every cell of my body,

and fill me with Your newness of life.

.

Come, O Breath of Life,

renew me

and fill me with that deep and everlasting joy,

and with the awesome peace

which comes from embracing the Father’s love.

.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

.

.

.

REPETITIVE PRAYER FOR TODAY…
