When God moves he shakes things up.
DAILY FODDER
Why is the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost such a pivotal moment for the church? How does it affect the way you live out your faith?
PRAYER
Generous God, you gave us life at the point of creation. Then at Pentecost you breathed into us a fresh breath of life. You are worthy of all honor, allegiance, and trust. Yet, we fall short because we fail to attend to the presence of your Spirit in our lives. Transform me into a spiritually sensitive follower of Jesus so that I can boldly share your message with all who are within earshot. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
