“In the Spirit’s Flow....”

Creating and renewing God, as we worship you this day, we recognise that we stand in the great flow of your Spirit’s work throughout all the ages
The same Spirit who moved at Pentecost, the same Spirit that brooded over creation, the same Spirit that came upon Gideon, the same Spirit who inspired prophets to speak your word, dwells and moves among us today. We draw courage and strength from the ways in which your servants served you in their frailty and weakness, through trials and opposition that we have never known, learning to draw on Your Spirit’s presence and empowering
Challenge us to move beyond the comfort of trusting in our own resources to the place where we rely on your Spirit’s moving. Teach us to be released from the anchors of our traditions and comforts into the wind of Your Spirit, where we can leave all in your control.
Help us, O God, to be a standard, an example, for future generations, that they too, in the frailty of their faith, might like us learn to venture out in the strength and power of the Spirit of God. (All) Spirit of God, come again, move afresh, stir, inspire and empower us, for Your glory. Amen.
