fire

Opening Prayer: Set a fire down in my soul that I can’t contain, that I can’t control.  I want more of you God.  I want more of your God. ~Will Reagan

Scripture: Acts 2:1-21

Journal: How and where is the fire of God’s Spirit burning within you these days?  What nurtures that fire?  What hinders it?

Reflection:

     fire

burning within

consuming my heart

with the heat of

your great affection

transforming everything

in his holy path

destroying the old

and the worn

and the false

leaving only 

the new

and the true

the me you dreamt

from the beginning

working your will

empowering and engaging

restoring and refining

bringing a kingdom

that will never end

such is your Spirit

the fire of God

Prayer

Closing Prayer: Burn, O Spirit of the Living God, consume my heart and soul.  Refine and renew and transform this life of mine into all you desire it to be.  For only then will I burn with a passion and a zeal that will impact the world around me.  No one can contain the fires of your Spirit, O Lord, so flame on.  Transform our lives and our world with the heat of your great affection.  Amen.
